Burlington Flea Market

About Burlington Flea Market

Located at 4017 Martin Luther King Jr Ave in Knoxville, the Burlington Flea Market has recently become a point of contention among locals. While it used to draw crowds with its variety, many reviews indicate it’s now more of a shadow of its former self, with complaints about expired food and low-quality items like fake clothing and Amazon pallet junk becoming the norm. It appears that the police have even closed the market due to concerns over stolen merchandise, leaving potential visitors in the lurch.

Though some have fond memories of the market, it seems those days are long gone. Reviewers have expressed disappointment at the repetitive vendors and lack of diversity in offerings, suggesting that the same sellers dominate the space day in and day out. The atmosphere is described as stale, which makes it hard to justify a trip for those looking for something fresh or exciting.

For anyone considering a visit, it’s important to manage expectations. With long hours from 6 AM to 6 PM every day, parking is likely available, but the promise of great bargains may not deliver. It seems many locals feel it’s time for this market to evolve or relocate, as they look for better opportunities in the area.
