A Flea Market Documentary, a new PBS special, celebrates the nationwide tradition of open-air shopping. Flea markets offer a unique glimpse into American culture, uniting people across the country in the pursuit of bargains and interesting finds. From parking lots to fairgrounds, these markets feature unusual people and enticing goods – a blend of commerce and eccentricity. Produced by WQED Pittsburgh, the documentary journeys from the massive Rose Bowl Market in California to the Eastern Market in Washington, D.C., interviewing organizers, vendors, food sellers, and shoppers alike.
