Also known as the Flea in the Meadow, the Chilmark Flea Market is a fund-raising function for the Chilmark Community Church. The flea began in the churchyard on the Menemsha Crossroad but has moved to several different locations over its 44 years in operation. After a few years on Middle Road, the flea market moved to its current location on North Road. The Flea is held every Wednesday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to noon on North Road, across from the old schoolhouse in the open field.
