Flea Markets in Toronto: Antiques, Vintage and Church Sales
From Sunday antiques at St. Lawrence Market to a church-library glass show and the Roncy Flea, here are Toronto markets with dates their organisers posted.
The best flea finds rarely wait for a perfect Saturday, so the smart move is to plan around the calendar.
This guide follows the markets that have posted dates we could read on the organiser’s own page. We list them in the order you will meet them, from this winter into next summer, and we link each one so you can double-check before you head out.
Where can you find antiques on a Toronto Sunday?
Start downtown. Antiques at St. Lawrence Market is a weekly Sunday market in the St. Lawrence Market North building, and it takes the last Sunday of each month off.
The organiser, Heritage Antique Shows, lists November 1, 8 and 15, then December 6, 13 and 20 after an October 18 date. Visitors can browse antiques, art, jewellery, silver, decorative arts, vintage treasures and collectibles from experienced dealers, and admission is free. It is held at 92 Front Street East. Mark the skipped last Sunday of the month in your calendar, since the market does not take place then.
The Ontario Vintage Market brings curated antiques and vintage to the Pavilions at Evergreen Brick Works, 550 Bayview Avenue. Its fall Sunday dates ran from September 6 through November 1. The good news is that the Evergreen Winter Market runs every Sunday from November 29 to December 20. The Ontario Vintage & Artisan Market is part of that, pitched as a source of one-of-a-kind gifts from small Ontario businesses and artisans.
The organiser’s own page lists this show for November 25, 26, 27 and 28, 2026. It is held in the Library of Lawrence Park Community Church, 2180 Bayview Avenue, just south of Lawrence. The sale includes milk glass, Manhattan, Fostoria American, Depression and uranium glass, kitchenware, decanters, serving and relish trays and candlesticks. The organiser offers free admission and free parking in the church lot on Dawlish Avenue. By TTC, it points visitors to the 124 Sunnybrook Hospital bus from Lawrence Station or the southbound 11 bus on Bayview. NOW Toronto’s event listing shows the show at the same church on May 6 to 9, 2026 too, so it has two dates listed this year.
Is there a flea market on Toronto’s holidays?
There is, and it is a good reason to love a statutory holiday.
The Heritage Antique Market takes place on every Canadian statutory holiday. It is at Centerpoint Mall, Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue, which it has called home since 2010, and it began in 1979 at Bayview Village. The address is 6464 Yonge Street. Each event features over 65 hand-selected Canadian antique dealers from across Ontario and Quebec.
The organiser lists 2027 show dates for January 1, February 15, March 28, May 24, July 1, September 6 and October 11. Centerpoint Mall’s own site names the market among its statutory holiday exceptions.
The Roncy Flea’s page lives on the website of Roncesvalles United Church, which is at 240 Roncesvalles Avenue. The church describes itself as a community hub with offerings that give back to the community. Its 2027 dates fall on the second Saturday of the month from May to September: May 8, June 12, July 10, August 14 and September 11.
The page says application links will be added beside the dates starting in April 2027, and shoppers can simply put the dates in their phones now.
What is the difference between a flea, an antique market and a vintage show?
The labels blur, and that is half the fun. Here is our shorthand, offered as opinion rather than a rule.
An antique market is where dealers bring pieces they know well, so it is the place to ask questions and learn. A vintage market leans toward clothing, accessories and décor, and tends to reward people who like to flip through racks. A neighbourhood flea is the loosest of the three, with a bit of everything and the occasional surprise. This guide mixes them, because most shoppers wander between them anyway.

What should you bring to a flea market?
A few habits make any of these days smoother.
A sturdy tote or two, because you will want both hands free.
A tape measure or a note of your space, so the sideboard that speaks to you also fits.
Comfortable shoes and layers, since several of these markets are held in large halls and malls.
A little time. The good stuff tends to reveal itself on the second lap, so do not rush the first.

If you are hunting for a gift, a flea is a fine place to find something with a past. Our handmade gifts guide covers the other side of the shelf, where the maker is still working.
Whichever market you pick, ask the dealer or vendor about the story behind a piece. It is the cheapest souvenir there is.
How do we plan a flea market season?
This part is opinion. Here is how we would do it.
Winter: save your Sundays for the St. Lawrence antiques and the Brick Works, and keep the last week of November free for the glass show.
Early year: circle the holiday dates at Centerpoint Mall.
Spring: start thinking about the Roncy Flea.
Always: check the organiser’s page before you go, because dates can change.
