Deals and 'Steals' Highlight Upper Keys Gigantic Flea Market

Bargain hunters can discover gems -- either new, used, unusual or necessary -- at the Gigantic Nautical Flea Market, a one-of-a-kind market set for Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 26-27, at Founders Park, mile marker (MM) 87 bayside on Plantation Key.

Snoop out deals on boats, boat parts, electronics, marine products, scuba and snorkel gear, dock equipment, nautical arts and crafts, fishing gear and clothing for use in, on or under the water.

Admission to the open-air event is free, and thousands of boaters and anglers typically drop in to poke through boxes of loose parts to turn up an oddball fitting, or pry out deep discounts on rods, reels, line and lures.

Water lovers of all ages come to find tools and toys, while art lovers and hobbyists can discover a variety of arts and crafts.

Flea market hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 27. An all-you-can-eat breakfast is to be served for $5.

Complimentary parking and free shuttle transportation are to be available both days from Coral Shores High School at MM 90.

Money raised benefits the Upper Keys Rotary Foundation scholarship fund that helps local students pay for college.
