It might not be quite the same, but the Brimfield Antique Flea Market returns to Route 20 on Wednesday for an abbreviated four-day run.
Brimfield Auction Acres will be the only field open during the May show, as majority of the field operators are waiting until the July show to reopen. The Brimfield Barn will also be open, although running slightly different than usual.
“It only makes sense that the authentic field that started it all will be the one to kick off the 2021 season,” owner Kate Corriveau said in a statement on the Brimfield Auction Acres website.
