Spence’s Bazaar

Spence’s Bazaar is a vibrant marketplace located at 550 South New Street in Dover, Delaware, combining elements of a flea market, auction house, and Amish food market. Founded in 1933 by Harry and Emmaline Spence as a livestock auction for local farmers, the bazaar transformed in the 1960s when animal stalls were rented to flea marketers, and Amish farmers began participating in the 1970s. Operating on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, Spence’s Bazaar offers an eclectic selection of merchandise including antiques, vintage records, household goods, clothing, plants, locally grown produce, and handcrafted items, alongside an extensive food market featuring Amish baked goods, fresh meats, and prepared foods. Over the decades, Spence’s has become a cherished community landmark and beloved destination for shoppers from across the Mid-Atlantic region seeking unique treasures, quality produce, and traditional Amish culinary specialties.
