General Information

Whether attendees scoured the Flea Market for a unique item, looked to find equipment to fulfill their “dream” of building a tower or a radio, saw old friends or had the occasion to make new ones, people were “imagining the possibilities.” Others still have the “dream” to attend a Dayton Hamvention. We invite you and hope you can realize your “dream” to attend Dayton Hamvention®

Welcome to the Flea Market

Welcome to the 2025 Dayton Hamvention® Flea Market webpage. Beginning another year at the Greene County Fair and Exposition Center, we’re continuing to make improvements to help you enjoy a better experience, during your visit. As always, this will continue to be a year of evolving adjustment for everyone, to make 2025 another memorable year.

As you plan for your visit, please keep in mind that the Flea Market committee receives several hundred e-mails and phone calls. Each is important and needs to be responded to. Please remain patient, while working through the reservation process.

Throughout the year, we receive comments that are considered and help us make decisions to better our service for you. Please take a few minutes to read through the 2025 Flea Market Rules and Information, as there may be some changes that might affect your planning, making a reservation and attending this year’s event.

If you’re a returning vendor, please note that it was necessary to perform the renumbering of some spaces, but the spaces were ONLY renumbered. Your space locations will remain the same, but space numbers may have changed for some of you.

A new addition for 2025 is Flea Market spaces in the asphalt parking lot, to the West of the “Forum 1” building. These spaces offer the availability of electric service, which must be negotiated with the Greene County Fairgrounds.

The Flea Market e-mail address is:  fleamarket@Hamvention.org , which can be used as your point of contact, for assistance. Each e-mail will be answered to in the order that they’re received, so responses may not be immediate, but you’re not being ignored.

PLEASE NOTE:  Sending e-mails, regarding Flea Market concerns, to other persons or locations will only delay a response from the Flea Market committee. E-mails sent to any personal addresses will be forwarded to the Flea Market’s e-mail, before being read. When sending e-mails, please do not send more than one, unless the newer e-mail contains important information not contained in a previous one. Multiple e-mails may create unnecessary delays in processing a reservation or responding to a request. Calls made to personal home telephones are a disturbance to our families, so please respect this.

As always, we remain eager to assist you and help make this another great year for the greatest amateur radio attraction in the world, the Dayton Hamvention® and as we continue to improve, we continue to be grateful for your patience and continued support of this amazing event.

From all of us on the Flea Market Committee, we thank you for your continued support of the Dayton Hamvention®.
