First Monday Trade Days is about 60 miles east of Dallas off Interstate 20 in Canton, Texas. Historically, the name originated from a judge that would stop in the town on the first Monday of every month to attend to court proceedings. At that time (the 1850s) people would come into town to purchase supplies for their home and sit in on the action of the day, which was usually a hanging or some other court pronouncement. Through the years First Monday grew and the City of Canton purchased land for people to conduct trading or sales. Now, Trade Days start on Thursday go through to Sunday before the first Monday of the month and do not include Monday at all. What you will find at First Monday Trade Days is everything from authentic antiques, vintage furniture, clothing, books and some original Texas art. You don't have to wait until the State Fair of Texas to enjoy Fair food. At First Monday Trade Days they have funnel cakes and corn dogs. Non-aggressive dogs are allowed but must be on a leash and owners must be responsible for their pet's waste. Best tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes like sneakers, not flip-flops.
