I'll tell you when not to go: July or August. I go about 6 times a year, but it is way to hot in July/August.

[@EastTexasCouple]

Definitely too hot during those times!

Come to Germany and you will see what is real Largest Flea Market. Unfortunately, the American flea market cannot be compared in terms of price or selection :)

[@EastTexasCouple]

Yea there are probably thousands of flea markets that claim 'world largest'. We are just showing what we in Texas claims as the World's largest lol.
