Dealers flock to DuPage County Fair Grounds, bringing along thousands of antiques and flea market treasures. They set up tables—located both inside and outside—and proudly display their wares, which can include everything from children's toys and wooden furniture to jewel-encrusted frames and professionally restored antique clocks. Once their tables are ready, they sit back and wait for customers to arrive. This ritual, known as the Wheaton Antique Market, takes place on weekends throughout the year. Attendees can return frequently to scour through the market's ever-changing selection.
