Globe Flea Market in Fall River announces last weekend they will be in business

A Fall River institution will soon be no more.

After over 40 years in business, the Globe Flea Market has announced that they will be closing their doors.

“We would like to thank all of our special vendors, past and present and all the loyal customers who have supported the Globe for so many years.”

The last weekend that they will be open for business is April 25th and 26th.

At March 2025’s Fall River Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, MassCan Capital LLC, was granted a Special Permit to convert the existing mill building at 460 Globe Street into an 89 Residential Unit Apartment Building. The proposal includes 89 parking spaces and landscaping.

MassCan Capital LLC has received $2.5 million in a Housing Development Incentive Program award and $250,000 in grants for the $20+ million project which will be used towards the adaptive reuse of 98,190 square feet of Globe Yarn Mills into 4 studio, 57 one-bedroom, and 28 two-bedroom market rate units.

The mill was built in 1881 and has a project completion timeframe of 2027 with shovels breaking ground this year.
