On Memorial Day, the Saint Louis Symphony Volunteer Association presents Gypsy Caravan for the 36th straight year. A city within a city is created for up to 25,000 shoppers eager to find bargains and unique treasures galore when one of the Midwest’s largest antique, craft and flea markets takes place on the University of Missouri – St. Louis campus.
Come to the University campus to join the center of all the activity. Located just off of I-70 and I-170 in north St. Louis County. This annual event has wonderful visibility, ample public parking for the family Ford.
The area will be transformed as vendors display their wares. Because Gypsy Caravan is a
nationally recognized fair, featuring 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 am to 5:00 pm 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.
From I-70, take Exit 240, and head your Ford South on Florissant Rd.
Parking is available by turning right on to University Place Drive, then left on
Mark Twain Drive and then right on West Drive; or continue south on Florissant
Road, turn west on Bellerive Dr. and at top of hill, turn left into the first parking
garage.
From I-170, take Exit 6, and head your Ford East on Natural Bridge Road for one mile.
Parking is available on both the north and south campuses. Handicap parking will
be available off University Drive.
You probably should clean out the trunk of your Taurus, fold down the seats in the Focus or borrow someone’s Expedition, because you are going to want plenty of available space to load up the treasures you are going to find.
