A North Texas Institution
Bonham Trade Days is sponsored and operated by the Bonham Kiwanis Club in cooperation with the City of Bonham. It occupies the park grounds at 1100 W 5th Street — at the corner of Highway 121 and Highway 56, just west of Fort Inglish Village Museum — and has been running monthly for decades. The City of Bonham describes it as one of North Texas’ longest-running trade days.
The format is consistent: Thursday through Sunday, every month, following the first Monday. It runs rain or shine, which means it shows up every time on the calendar regardless of weather. The vendor mix is broad — antiques and vintage collectibles sit alongside tool dealers, clothing booths, small livestock pens, fresh produce stands, and food vendors. The specific inventory changes every month, so repeat visitors consistently find something different.
What to Expect
Vendor Mix & What to Look For
Antiques & Collectibles
Vintage furniture, glassware, ceramics, signs, advertising pieces. A reliable anchor category at every Trade Days weekend.
Tools & Hardware
Hand tools, power tools, farm equipment parts, and surplus hardware. Good sourcing ground for collectors and working tradespeople.

Jewelry, leather goods, woodwork, and handcrafted items from local and regional makers. Vendor mix shifts month to month.

Seasonal decor, repurposed furniture, wall art, and household items both new and vintage.
