The Original Swappers Day
Held since 1944, the original Swappers Day – located at the Johnstown Community Sportsmen’s Club, 7357 Sportsman Club Road in Johnstown, Ohio – is one of the oldest, largest, most exciting flea markets in Ohio. If you CAN’T find what you’re looking for at Swappers Day, you just don’t really need it! We have over 750 vendor spaces, loads of concessions, and various other events for your entertainment.
Swappers Day festivities began simply as a group of sportsmen who wanted to race their prize dogs across a man-made pond at their club. Then, as the popularity of the event grew, participants started bringing items to swap, trade, and/or sell. Now, many many years later, we welcome tens of thousands of visitors each year. Come for the activities, go shopping, look for deals, enjoy “fair” food, or do some swapping of your own.
What do we do with the money?
Johnstown Community Sportsmen’s Club is a 501(c)-7 non-profit organization.
