Quoted from too-many-pins:Ivan does a hell of a good job with the Allentown Show but that show has grown to a point of just craziness. It is super busy from opening right up to closing each day and a high energy show. The flea market area is likely the best in the country and is my favorite part of the show. The down side with Allentown is it has grown to a point of almost not being fun anymore. Really busy, really noisy, and just plain crazy pretty much all day. Farmers market food right across the street is another great thing about Allentown! (If you like busy & high energy Allentown is just that).
I disagree with the "not being fun anymore" part, but for me the farmer's market across the street would deliver the win if I were forced to choose only one of the two. I've set up as a vendor at both shows many times now and I really appreciate the ability to walk over and get great food. At York I often bring a fridge with a packed lunch because the on-site eatery is horrible.
@op, whichever show has too-many-pins set up is likely to win "best flea market" for the year!
