Summer's on its way out, and Canton is ready for it. This Labor Day weekend, First Monday Trade Days kicks off the season we've all been waiting for: Fall!
From September 3 to 6, our 450+ acres transform into the perfect place to shop your way into the coziest time of year. Think Fall decor to refresh every room, vintage clothing for cooler days ahead, handmade goods with real character, furniture that'll anchor your space for years, and of course, all the fair-style foods that make a day at First Monday feel like a tradition.
Why September is the sweet spot
There's something about the first market of Fall. The crowds are just as lively, but the air starts to shift, and so does what's on the tables. Vendors bring out their pumpkins, their wreaths, their flannel and their first hints of holiday inventory, all mixed in with the antiques, crafts, and finds First Monday is known for.
Whether you're hunting for a statement piece for the living room or just want to wander hundreds of vendor booths with a kettle corn in hand, this is the show that says Fall is officially here!
Something for everyone
That's the beauty of First Monday. One aisle might have you digging through vintage finds and worn-in leather goods, and the next has you picking out a fresh wreath or a stack of hand-poured candles. Families come for the fair food and the space to roam. Collectors come for the antiques. Shoppers come for the deals you can't find anywhere else. However you like to spend a day at First Monday, September's show has a little bit of everything to make it worth the trip.
And if you're local, this is the show to bring out-of-town friends to. There's nothing quite like watching someone see 450+ acres of vendors for the first time!
