Keller’s Flea Market

DSCN3493
Anyone who has wanted to make the most of a garage sale event in the Savannah area knows about Keller’s Flea Market.  Keller’s is a huge maze of warehouse type stalls of vendors as well as little specialty “cottage” stores.  It’s open year round, has free admission, and free parking (including RV).  There are established permanent vendors selling everything from the expected flea “junk” to fresh produce to antiques to puppies.  At last count, this flea market had more than 400 stall spaces.  Renting a weekend table at Keller’s will almost guarantee sales (and a pre-home sale purge).

Located at the intersection of Highways 17 & 204 in southwest Savannah, Keller’s is a place you can’t miss.  A giant milk cow with an “I Love Fleas” cowbell marks the spot and draws people in.  She promises that, whether you are a buyer or a seller, you’ll be saving or making “moo-lah.” In addition to displays of interesting wares, Keller's also serves as a site for a variety of events throughout the year.  For example, on August 17th (9a – 3p), the Southeast Blacksmith Association is hosting meetings and demonstrations.

For those flea market junkies who just want to pick up a bargain or the next new “Flea Market Flip” project, plan to spend a few hours.  There’s absolutely no way to check out all that’s offered in less time.  If you get hungry, there’s a variety of food sellers and places to sit and munch.  There’s a continual ebb and flow to the traffic.  You never know who you might run into.  But --- take my advice --- bring a compass or a friend who has a great sense of direction!  The buildings and halls twist and turn and it’s very easy to lose your bearings.  Happy hunting!
