If you’ve ever locked eyes with a dusty lamp and thought, “I could give that a second chance,” you may already be spiritually aligned with the Pasco County Flea Fest. Happening Saturday, November 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., this market of misfit treasures has officially leveled up, now claiming its new home at the Pasco County Fairgrounds (36722 County Road 52, Dade City). That’s right, there’s going to be more space, more vendors, more goats made out of driftwood, and enough secondhand surprises to make Marie Kondo question everything.
And this isn’t your average folding-table flea market. No, this is a full-blown swap-ocalypse where you’ll find everything from beaded bracelets and pickled okra to vintage comic books, stained glass windows, and seasonal wreaths large enough to signal aircraft. Whether you’re hunting for farmhouse antiques, handcrafted goods, or just want to eat your way through a mobile lineup of coffee, burgers, and Mediterranean street food, Pasco Flea Fest has you and your impulsive spending habits covered.
Tables, tarps, and tiny ceramic clowns
Thinking of joining the madness from the other side of the table? There’s still time. Vendor slots are wide open, whether you’re working with a tarp, a tent, a table, or a tailgate. Got a few bins of old records, or handmade wares you’re convinced are the next Etsy sensation? You’re in. It’s $40 for a simple setup, $60 if you’re bringing the party in your trunk, and both indoor and outdoor vendor opportunities are still up for grabs.
And yes, the food situation is looking like a cheat-day fantasy. Burger 21 is slinging hand-pattied Angus burgers, Medilish Grill brings yummy Mediterranean bites, and Sophisticated Sips has an espresso trailer that might change your entire personality. There’s also Maggie’s Snow Shoppe, with handcrafted syrups and a family legacy so sweet it could be bottled and sold…
