Indiana Swap Meet

Picture
Our 2026 Indiana Swap Meets will be on these Sundays:

​​JANUARY 18
APRIL 19
OCTOBER 18

Blackhawk reserves the right to modify our event schedule and/or programming
​due to weather, government order, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Swap Meets are held three times a year, in January, April, and October,  often on the last Sunday of the month, but can move based on major holidays and conflicts with other events. See our Schedule page for upcoming dates. 

​Swap Meets are held at:
  • American Legion Post 66
    132 N Wiggs St, Griffith, IN 46319. 

American Legion Post 66 is near the famous junction on Broad Street in and the Griffith Depot Museum ​​
​The hall opens around 8 AM for vendor setup and event is open to the public by 10 AM.  Selling runs from 10 AM to 2 PM, although vendors may choose to leave before closing time, so come early for the best selection.

8-foot vendor tables are $20 each, however the first table is FREE to Blackhawk members.

TABLES SELL OUT QUICKLY.  Our floor plan allows for easy movement rather than packing in as many tables as possible.  We do maintain a waiting list, but for best results, order and pay for your tables as soon as you can.

To ask about table availability,
 please E-mail our Swap Meet coordinator.
