Canton FMTD - Calendar
FIRST MONDAY TRADE DAYS CALENDAR FOR CANTON AS OF JANUARY 2015 - WE NO LONGER ATTEND THE CANTON EVENT Market is open Thursday through Sunday.
Quite naturally, many also brought their own goods, produce and livestock with them to sell or trade. This took place just off the west side of the courthouse square. Most history versions include the trading of wild horses, which were rounded up in the region and brought to Canton to sell. By 1965, First Monday had outgrown the Town Square and it was then that the City of Canton purchased six acres just two blocks north of the courthouse and First Monday was moved off the square. Originally, First Monday only “happened” on the first Monday of each month. However, if you take a look at the calendar today, you will note that Monday has been excluded. Even though the event goes from Thursday – Sunday, the name is now and will forever be known as: FIRST MONDAY TRADE DAYS. It is located at 800 First Monday Lane, Canton, TX 75103.
