The dates for 2025 are May 13-18, July 8-13, September 2-7. The 6 day event runs Tuesday at 6am through Sunday around 3pm.

The hours vary depending on which show field you plan to visit. Overall there are plenty of booths to shop from 8am to 5pm. On the opening day (Tuesday) many booths open at 6am or earlier to satisfy the early birds. The events are held rain or shine.

Many of the shows are free. Some charge admission for the first day and stop after that. Overall, it’s not very costly to shop Brimfield.

Basically, there are parking lots all around town. If you know which area you plan to shop on a particular day you should park in that area. Using the chart and map shown on this web site you can make a good plan. Parking is very reasonable with the highest price we’ve seen being $10 per day.

There are several ATMs in town if you need more cash. Many dealers do accept checks with proper ID and some also take credit cards.

Most fields have porters available for a nominal fee. You can often arrange to drive onto the field where you made your purchase late in the day and they will load it into your vehicle. You might also consider making arrangements for delivery.

I usually suggest shopping Tuesday through Friday if your schedule allows. Saturday is better than Sunday if you can’t come until the weekend. Many dealers travel home on Sunday so there is less merchandise to pick from.

The answer is yes and no. There are some show fields that do not allow pets. There are a few that do. The size and level of training of your dog would be a consideration. Service dogs would be an exception, of course.

There is no central headquarters at Brimfield. Each show field has it’s own management. You’d have to try at each individual show office to have your friend paged, etc. Some fields won’t page for this purpose and some are not equipped to page. Your best bet is to carry cell phones or walkie talkies.

Yes, there are lots of experienced porters. Most dealers and show field owners have a few on hand to help. Just ask.

Yes, there are many creative ways to arrange for delivery. Often times, the dealer who sold you the merchandise may have a solution.

Depending on how far away you live sometimes dealers will offer delivery at a reasonable fee. You may have to schedule it for a future date. Another possibility is that the dealer may know of another dealer whom he trusts who lives in your area and would be willing to bring your purchase to you, again, for a fee. The trip home from Brimfield generally allows for extra space on the dealers trucks and vans since they most likely have sold much of their inventory at the show.
