Illinois Weekend Events: Flea Market, Porsche Meetup, Live Music

CHICAGO, IL — If you do one thing this weekend, let it be in pursuit of a bargain. Wheaton is hosting its annual all-nighter flea market starting this Saturday for the 45th year in a row. The event will include live music, local food and over 100 vendors selling antiques, homemade crafts and collectibles.

A spokesperson for the event told Patch the flea market will run from 3 p.m. on Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday. The flea market was nationally ranked by the Travel Channel as one of the world's best.

"Visitors are advised to bring a flashlight for easier browsing," writes Patch's Lisa Farver.

Admission is $10 per adult. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the event.
