MILTON — Flea Across Florida, purportedly the state’s largest yard sale, is set April 14 and 15 along Highway 90 from Pensacola to the East Coast.
For seven years, Flea Across Florida has brought thousands of visitors to small communities across the state on Highway 90, filling up motels, restaurants and small local businesses. The event is held every April and September.
Flea Across Florida is a mixture of individual yard sales, businesses offering specials, and retail vendors set up at Flea sites. It attracts people looking for bargains, hidden treasures or the adventure of traveling along Highway 90 through various communities.
“This is a great opportunity for non-profits, churches, or individuals to hold sales along the route, or to rent spaces for those wanting to participate and set up,” an event spokesperson stated.
"This event is a tremendous boost to local communities, especially the shops, restaurants and hotels,” said Kim Macarthy, owner of Copper Possum Antique Mall along Highway 90 in Milton. “I always enjoy seeing some of the regulars who travel and shop the route each event.”
