Flea Markets are a big thing in Florida. Some of these cover acres of ground like the Webster market pictured here. Average attendance of 10,000+. Average 12-1300 vendors. One of the better wholesale markets in the country with a separate section for new merchandise.This every Monday market is a truly unique happening. What I found in some markets is you will need to look hard to find a treasure since most of the vendors have standard manufactured items that you could buy at Walmart...cheaper! Hard to find a booth where someone has emptied the attic...more like boxes of stuff made in China. We go for the food...you can get a real half smoke on a real fresh baked roll with mustard and onions that tastes real good!
