St. Charles Flea Market

The St. Charles Flea & Artisan Market "started with a dream and joy!" The team with a dream is made up of three best friends, Julie, Laura, and Ann, with a long history of thrifting, networking, and reimagining. With the help of the City of Saint Charles Special Events Department, they were able to find a home for the market in the parking garage at City Hall (200 N. Second Street), adjacent to Main Street, St. Charles, and have been thriving ever since!
