First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas is held the Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month — making May 7–10, 2026 this month’s event, with Mother’s Day falling on Sunday, May 10. That means this weekend is one of the most popular Trade Days of the year, combining the beloved flea market tradition with a Mother’s Day shopping and family outing all in one trip.
The event draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to Van Zandt County, filling the roads, restaurants, and campgrounds around Canton. Vendors sell everything from antiques and handmade crafts to livestock, tools, clothing, and collectibles across hundreds of acres of open-air market space.
