The Mangum Rattlesnake Derby has one of the largest flea markets in Oklahoma. Hundreds of vendors flock to Mangum each year to sell their goods to passing patrons. Everyone can find something at the flea market.

The flea market fills the streets and the city square. Along the western stretch lies the food court. Dozens of food vendors offer several varieties of food for anybody's palate. All of your festival staples can be found here. Also, at the northern edge of the food court, patrons can find seating on the courthouse lawn. The area sits roughly fifty people. Tables are also set up so that you can eat your meals without the worry of it dumping in your lap.

The flea market also has a state-of-the-art bathroom trailer located at the northern edge of the food court in the intersection. The trailer offers running water and flushable toilets. The flea market also has the normal port-a-johns that come with every festival. In addition, the flea market fully complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and offers handicap amenities.

Artist Alley is the newest addition of the flea market. Located on the west side of the square, local artists display their very own art work. Patrons of the flea market can even purchase the priceless art.

The official Rattlesnake Derby souvenir booth is located at the southwest corner of the square. Here, you can purchase memorabilia to remember your trip to Mangum. Hats, t-shirts, coffee mugs, and patches are just some of the items that you can find here.

Also, the rattlesnake buying platform is located on the southwest corner. Here, hunters sell their snakes. Also, all official announcements are made from the platform. The platform is manned by experienced and knowledgeable people who can answer any question you might have. Furthermore, the platform has a huge display in front that features dozens of snakes. The snakes are put up at night but are out all day.

Remember, the flea market is outside, so dress appropriately for the weather and don't forget the sun screen.
