Cape Girardeau, MO Swap Meet is scheduled for:
February 18th2024 Cape Girardeau Swap Meet* at Arena Park (410 Kiwanis Drive, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701)
Almost all the vendors are outside. Very few in the arena building. The park is the city fairgrounds.
It starts before dawn and most vendors and shoppers are clearing out by noon or so. As for being mostly outdoors and starting in the dark….I guess it’s just “part of the experience.” That time in February can be super cold or quite pleasant. I’ve attended in shirt sleeves and the next year might be insulated bib overalls.
It’s a really cool event. Kind of a local tradition that’s been going on for a very, very long time. Lots of guys and gals grew up going with their dad or maybe even dad and granddad. I think it’d be even cooler if it was promoted a bit more.
