Caesar Creek Flea Market Plans Closure After Nearly 50 Years

Caesar Creek Flea Market in Wilmington, Ohio, a regional landmark for nearly 50 years, announced it will permanently close on November 30, 2025. Until its closure, the market will operate on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free admission starting in October. The market encourages patrons to continue supporting its vendors and artisans across eight buildings and the outdoor market. Planned events such as car shows and Halloween celebrations will proceed as scheduled. While the flea market closes, the adjacent storage business will remain open, with further details forthcoming. The owners reflected on the market's role as a community gathering place and a first employer for many local youths, expressing sadness over the closure and gratitude for decades of patronage.
