New Jersey is the mall capital of America, so it’s never hard to shop. However, the selection at big box stores can get a little repetitive and sometimes it’s nice to switch things up a bit. Instead of your standard shopping trip, you can enjoy a shopping experience at a variety of Garden State destinations. One of my favorites is Viking Village, a historic fishing village in Barnegat Light now filled with quaint shops. You can learn more about that by clicking here. I recently came across an equally enchanting market where an abundance of terrific treasures can be found…
The New Egypt Flea Market Village isn't your average flea market.
It has been a local staple since 1959, offering great deals and a spectacular selection of goods.
Though tables are available for vendors, much of your shopping will take place in their charming "village" of historic buildings.
A unique year-round shopping destination, there are 40+ little (climate controlled!) shops to choose from.
Whatever you're looking for, you'll likely find it here. Vendors include local artists, artisans, antique dealers, crafters, and more!
A sample of the shops include New Egypt Comics, Vinyl & Video Games, The Big Kid Store (vintage toys), BrutaliTeas (a very metal tea shop), Almost Not A Mess (a general store), and Mystique Market (crystals, candles, incense, jewelry).
The selection you'll find at the tables is ever changing, and the village also offers a food truck and picnic area.
While the set price shops are all amazing, you'll find an auction here on the first Tuesday of every month. There are antiques, collectibles, and furniture available for your bidding pleasure.
This is a perfect destination for some holiday shopping and you can relax a little, as well... The Center of Light & Gratitude offers relaxing and rejuvenating Reiki sessions! Individual shop hours vary but you’ll typically find them open on Wednesdays and Sundays from 8-2. The New Egypt Flea Market Village can be found at 933 Monmouth Road in Cream Ridge. Have you been? What’s your favorite shop?
