SAINT LOUIS, MO - On Memorial Day, the Saint Louis Symphony Volunteer Association presents Gypsy Caravan for the 35th straight year. A city within a city is created for up to 30,000 shoppers eager to find bargains and unique treasures galore when one of the Midwest’s largest antique, craft and flea markets takes place in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Come to Market and 20th Streets to join the center of all the activity. Located just north and west of historic Union Station, this annual event has wonderful visibility, ample public parking and is easy to reach by car or MetroLink light rail service.

The area will be transformed as vendors display their wares. Because Gypsy Caravan is a nationally recognized fair, vendors come from a number of states and offer everything from trinkets to treasures, birdhouses to bureaus. It’s an incredible selection of antiques, collectibles, jewelry, furniture, fashions, crafts and much more. Something is bound to catch your eye, capture your heart or whet your appetite. Delicious food and beverages are also a part of the event and refresh those who spend part of the holiday with us.

This shopper’s paradise is open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. rain or shine. The proceeds benefit the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony’s education and community programs. These programs reach thousands of young people each year.
