Wellfleet Flea Market turns the parking lot of the cape’s drive-in theater into a sprawling treasure hunt.

The lineup changes with whoever arrives to sell, and on busy summer days as many as 150 vendors can spread across the grounds.
Challenge your companions to a round on the retro 18-hole mini-golf course. Cool off afterward at the Dairy Bar with a soft-serve sundae, hand-mixed milkshake, or root beer float, then stay after sunset for a movie under the stars at the Wellfleet Drive-In theater.

Bakers and small-batch food producers add plenty for the pantry, while kettle corn provides something warm and sweet to snack on as you make your way around the stands.
Don’t miss the locally made candles, soaps, and woodwork pieces, and make sure you treat yourself to a massage while listening to the live music that accompanies the market.

Pasture-raised meats, eggs, honey, and baked treats connect your shopping directly with farms and producers around Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts.

Then turn to the makers for reusable “unpaper” towels and rag rugs, handcrafted cutting boards, lavender sachets, native plants, herbal skincare, and plant-based remedies.
If summer mosquitoes are making a meal of you, seek out the locally made all-natural insect repellent. Alternatively, make sure your four-legged companion doesn’t miss out on the market haul with a bag of natural dog treats.

Finish your basket with a jar of Cape Cod honey or a bunch of fresh-cut flowers to brighten your room.

Flowers and food-producing plants brighten the stands, while coffee and homemade treats provide breakfast as you browse.
Look for the Vendor Ed Boards displayed around the market, where producers explain how their food is grown, raised, caught, or made. If you’ve kids in tow, turn the learning into a game with market scavenger hunts, or attend tastings and see artwork created through local school gardening programs.

10. Orleans Farmers’ Market
From summer scallops to winter harvests
추천: 음식, 쇼핑
At Orleans Farmers’ Market, the displays change color and character with the Cape Cod seasons. Summer brings baskets of ripe tomatoes, sweet corn, and berries to pair with locally caught scallops or oysters. Come winter, the market moves indoors and the brighter harvest gives way to earthy root vegetables and other cold-weather crops. Whatever the month, you can fill the gaps with locally raised meat and eggs, golden Cape honey, jars of preserves, and fresh bread and pastries.
In the warmer months, visit the neighboring Artist Cottages, where you can browse Cape-inspired photography, pottery, paintings, fabric art, jewelry, and home decor, often with the artists themselves on hand to talk about their work or give demonstrations.
