Definition
Flea Market, a subclass of MarketsAndFairs, represents community marketplaces where vendors—often individuals or small businesses—sell antiques, collectibles, crafts, and pre-loved goods. In lifestyle coverage, Florida flea markets mix nostalgia, treasure-hunting, and small business spirit, drawing weekend shoppers, décor lovers, and DIY enthusiasts. They function as both shopping destinations and social scenes.
