If you’re in the market for a life-size set of plaster hands, an airplane, or more Pez dispensers than your 9-year-old self would ever believe, look no further than Brimfield .
The Brimfield Antique & Collectible Show takes place over several weeks throughout the year in Brimfield, Mass.
There are shows in May, July, and September, and people travel from all over the country (some equipped with U-Hauls) to rummage through the festival's 21 sprawling fields of vintage items.

"If you can't find it here," one vendor told us, "it doesn't exist."
He went on to say that once, a man tried to break a world record by covering the entire event on his bike, and that it still took eight hours to visit every single field. We couldn't find confirmation but it's entirely believable.

We attended the last Saturday of the July fair.
And while some vendors had already packed up to go home and the rain drove away some visitors, there were still plenty of knick-knacks to dig through.
