Shipshewana Trading Place Auction Restaurant

Love goin through old stuff with my buddy Ric-

This was a fun place to go with the family. So many different vendors and good prices too. I would suggest checking it out sometime if you can. Hours are only Tues and Wed most weeks, and some Monday holidays. So be sure to call ahead or check their website before making the trip out that way.

We enjoyed the meat market and cheese store probably more than the flea market. We thought we'd fine more Amish made items. Mostly dollar store items. They do have nice cement lawn statues. We ate at a little cafe on the 2nd floor of the shops next door to the meat market. It was a pleasant atmosphere. Food was good.

Conjested and jam packed. Try and get there early to get a good parking spot. But lots of booths to look through as well as other buildings that have their own surprises.

Can be a crowded place, keep an eye on those with you; and if you see something you like, consider getting it - it may not be there the next day/hour...

Lots of bargains if you are willing and able to walk it or drive a cart. If the weather is nice you can expect a huge crowd of people. Market days in Shipshe' are also very busy in the downtown area. Our favorite lunch places are the Bluegate restaurant and the pumpkin vine sandwich shop.

If you enjoy crafts and antiques and junk this is a great place to spend a day at

We go every year at least once. The experience is always enjoyable. Lots of different vendors offering all different kinds of products and services. Their food stations have a good variety of stuff but not too much that caters to restrictive diets, but we are used to that. The parking is always handled in a very quick and organized manner, which makes a big difference. The market here is just part of a whole great experience that can happen in this nice little town. We will continue to come back multiple times every year.

What an interesting place and so mu h to see. We had a good time shopping there. Kids loved it.

Wear walking shoes and bring a water bottle on busy days!! A market cart or back pack to carry what u buy is smart. Good variety from antiques to tee shirts, tools to household items and books.

A typical flea market. There are a few yummy booths to get treats but if you are looking for Amish goods this is not the place. I was searching for a handmade quilt but the only both selling quilts had Chinese imports sold by an Amish lady. If you are looking for authentic goods try the mercantile.

So many vendors. This was my 1st visit and I can't wait to go back

Love going here. Wish there was more variety. Seems over the years the vendors are all offering the same things. Still my favorite place to visit tho and have gone every year for my birthday the last 5 years

Pretty cool place. Anyone from the west coast who k ow about swap meets will like this place. Bring your own drinks however because they get a bit pricey here. Plenty of parking good shops alot of fun

Every visit is more disappointing than the last. 90% of vendors are selling new items. Socks, cheap tools, gadgets tshirts etc. There are a few that have shabby chic, handmade crafts, antiques are few and far between. My suggestion would be shop in town, go to E & S grocery for some good grocery deals(hand dipped ice cream too) and Ben's Soft pretzel. They do have lots of parking($5) and lots of clean bathrooms.
