Sweetwater is a likely place to have a monthly “Trade” day operation since the nearest city hosting a monthly event is 150+ miles away. I20 crosses Sweetwater on the south where interstate traffic has created a mecca of restaurants, hotels and bed/breakfasts. Sweetwater has long since been known for the “World’s Largest Rattlesnake Round-up in the World”, the WWll Wasp Museum, the famous Mustang Bowl (home of state winning Mustangs and Sammy Baugh), Newman Park and the Nolan County Coliseum-Annex-Area, Texas Theater and early 1900 City Auditorium. Trade Days is located in the large “Walls Factory” where 150 vendors show their wares in an enclosed heated and air conditioned building with great restrooms, visiting areas and loads of parking. The interstate allows for easy on/off exits, and the “Trade Days” area is easily seen.

Each month there are more and more vendors offering a large variety of home-made crafts, fads/fashion items, iron works, rustic décor, vintage and antique pieces, pottery, barn wood furniture/accessories, current hobbies, car/home fix-ups, cosmetics, toys and tradition/unusual “fair” eats and drinks.

Each month the vendor and visitor attendance increase, and there is plenty of room in a connecting building to accommodate lots of expansion.

Make “Sweetwater Trade Days” apart of your vacation trip or reward your family with a week-end outing in the “rattlesnake” environment of Central/West Texas.
