I’ve been to San Diego, Turlock and Pomona swap meets and doubt any of the three have more than 1,000 vendors. By comparison Hershey advertises 9,000 vendor spaces.
Hershey is 9000 vendor spots and approximately 200,000 spectators. Probably have more countries represented than any other meet. So there may be extremely large multi day events but Hershey still rules.
