Festival Flea Market Mall

I had a great time shopping at the mall today. So many great things. Such great service!

Omg! Designer eye glasses at festival is the rudest worst person I or anyone else has ever met! He swears at customers and he couldn’t give a fam about you once u lay him’ first matter if it’s cheap glasses or good stuff he’s in it for the money only! He’s a nutcase! Never ever buy from him!!’

If you’re looking for someplace unique to take a first-​time visitor to South Florida, or just have time to spend on a rainy day and need an indoor activity to keep busy, the Festival Flea Market Mall is definitely worth a visit. I was here over a recent holiday weekend and enjoyed checking out the many vendors, displays, and various shops that make this less of a traditional mall, and more of a flea market on steroids.
As for parking, there is a large lot with plenty of spaces available, but in the winter and on weekends it can really get packed. I’d advise coming at or right around opening time if you want to avoid a long walk. Retirees and tourists seem to make up the primary demographic of shoppers here (understandably), but you’ll find locals here as well looking for a good deal or just merchandise you can’t (easily) find anywhere else.
Be sure to stop by the information desk when you first come in, as you can pick up a few sheets of «Festivalue» dollars, which give you a tax break or some kind of similar discount on a limited number of purchases. (You will need to bring in a ticket for these from their website to claim. Also, remember to have your driver’s license out and try to cut the ticket from the rest of the paper before bringing it out).
When it comes to selection, the majority of things to buy here are tchotchkes like «As Seen on TV Products», watches/​jewelry (real and knockoff), gag gifts, clothes, housewares, etc. You’ll also find a few vendors for things like home improvement services, massages, and food items. Whether you’re coming here with something in mind to purchase or just browsing the many aisles, there truly is something for everyone at Festival Flea Market.

I had a problem with my total, asked to see a receipt and had a problem with all the little charges that made no sense (see pic). She tried playing it off but she over charged me and refused to do anything about it.
It’s situations like this that make it uncomfortable to shop here. Not going back.

I’m changing my original opinion from «not a fan» to «I like it». We went Saturday in search of a piece of wall art for our bedroom. There’s a cool picture and framing store in the mall that we’ve been to once or twice previously.
We looked around at leisure and didn’t find exactly what we were looking for in picture or size so we inquired about ordering it and were in luck. The lady was super cool and gave us some suggestions about the size we were looking for and really gave us some nice options to help make our decision easier.
We checked in at the west end of the mall and registered for some $$ saving coupons to help defray taxes or what not which was a nice bonus.
After getting our paperwork done to order the picture we kicked around the mall a bit and found a couple of other stores to wander in to and bought a few more things. There’s a golf store with some deals on golf balls, accessories, shirts and used clubs.
We found a cool game store that we bought a few kids gifts at and an awesome Jewish store (my wife’s Jewish) and ended up buying something there and loving a bunch of the stuff they had.
So all things considered it was a good stop, parking was easy with the large private parking lot and it’s fairly close to home so we’re going to be venturing back a little more frequently.

If you are into Custom very Unique jewelry then stop by the Romancing the Stones booth in front of Pizza at the food court. Owned by a husband and wife team I have bought several unique pieces for myself and friends. Whenever I wear their jewelry people ask where I purchased and I say «Romancing the Stones’ you just gotta go!

I have always seen this ad on the TV, remember much the logo of someone shopping. This place is hugeeee!!! It’s like a huge warehouse with many many vendors. From jewelry, clothes, shoes, napkins (themed ones), games, and more clothes, a small supermarket, scrubs, luggage, etc. It’s like a market type, huge place lots of vendors. Not finding anything in specific, but I’m pretty sure you might find something for you. This seems to be like the Merchandise Mart version of Miami.

My husband and I went to Boardwalk Sportswear Gifts today for custom t-​shirts. We told them we wanted five grey custom t-​shirts. We were told that the price is normally $ 20, but would be $ 18 per shirt since were getting five. We designed our shirts and had them printed. When we went to pay, we were told the shirts were $ 25 each. I told the gentleman that we agreed to $ 18 per shirt, not $ 25. He said that the custom shirts are $ 25 each. I explained to him that this is not what we were told prior to designing and printing our shirts. He said that he cannot tell the price of shirt until after it’s been made. We told him that he should have a better system than that because now we are being asked to pay more than what we agreed to originally. He said his system is fine. We paid, and on our way out the man mumbled derogatory things to us. We will not be returning to this vendor.

I give it 5 stars because the drama in this place is always so damn amusing and worthy of going on a TV series.
The first trip, we were in the food court munching out at Pita Nosh which was amazing. Meanwhile, in the background, a caretaker was having a mental breakdown and screaming while a 90 year old woman sat helplessly in her wheelchair. Flea market security (the guys in the blue shirts) swarmed her table while she was screaming.
Today, I went to the antique store by the pickle stands (amazing pickles). While in the antique store, a lady tried to leave the store without paying for the shoes on her feet. After she took off the shoes, she was bare foot and screaming. The guys in the blue shirts immediately swarmed again and dragged the lady out as she was screaming «Did I come in here barefoot? You will hear from my lawyer!!»

Everything in this place is overpriced! It’s places like this that make me really appreciate internet shopping! This place is one big ass rip off! Don’t waste your money!

Wow when they say from Soup to Nuts, this place is it. You want a 10’10 rug. They got it. You want a watch with bling they got it, how about a bag, wallet luggage? Plus a super market. With fresh fish, cold cuts, sandwiches, which I ordered a Corn Beef sandwich on rye HUGH only $ 7.99, can with a pickle and potato salad or Cole slaw.
Sat down in food court and there was a NY Deli, their sandwich wash $ 10.99. Don’t know if it was as big.
Did I say the have. A salon a antique room, plus you can have your teeth whiten for $ 49.99. Such a deal.
Or just go for exercise its In doors and air-​conditioned

I love the festival flea market. I go to Gold Bar Jewelry. David the owner is awesome. His prices are very reasonable. I would recommend him highly.

Love this place! I was shopping for xl clothes and found artsy, colorful, stylish women’s wear ranging from inexpensive to high $. Maybe a bit high at times for the drab surroundings. A big shoe selection is also available. I bought 8 tops in one afternoon and love them all! Be sure and get the festival dollars when you arrive for even bigger savings!

Have an excellent knish at the food court. Go have a pickle on a stick for dessert. The antique shop down the end is awesome. Open on Christmas Day. Check out the big fish in the river that runs outside in the back. Buy a slightly defective t-​shirt. You break it, you bought it.

Grausamer ramsch dort. Nur neuware. Vieles wie im 1 $ laden. Verschwendete zeit im Urlaub.

I visited today for the first time. I participated in a scavenger hunt that benefitted children with cancer. As a result I had the opportunity to check out almost every booth and interact with a majority of the vendors.
Festival Flea Market is an indor mall with privately owned businesses displaying their products in small stalls and booths. There is fine jewelry, costume jewelry, clothing for men, women, and children of all sizes, toys, gadgets, and housewares. They also sell crystals, knick-​knacks, sportswear, shoes, housewares, accessories, food, drinks, pickles, pet food and supplies, gifts, and wigs. There is a shoe repair, hair salon, food court, and clothing alterations stall. The vendors are friendly without being pushy.
The prices are less or comparable to those found in other stores.
This is a great place to spend the day for couples, singles, or families.

For what it’s supposed to be… I guess this place serves it’s purpose.
It smells. FUNKY. lots of cheap stuff, some that’s even overpriced.
lots of parking, lots of different food.

Blaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Good lord. It’s NOT a true flea market IMHO. I grew up with authentic flea markets that were of open air buildings and hand me downs sold like it’s a great big yard sale. This is the opposite of it. It sells cheap electronics, cheap sunglasses, cheap clothes, fake jewelry, expired make up products… It’s like a dollar store, basically, run by Indian or senior people.
I begged my aunt to go to the HILLSBORO ANTIQUE MALL which is on one end of the fleamarket mall. I told her that the fleamarket is a rip off compared to the antique mall. She was surprised at the selection and agreed that the flea market is nothing but junk while the antique mall has real second hand goods, antiques, and all kinds of quirky stuff. We had a better time there instead of the flea market.
By the way, my aunt’s boyfriend was with us and he purchased a $ 12 iPhone knock off outlet charger and after using it for 2 days, it went KAPUT! He claims that the seller did test the items before he bought it… ok… it’s like having put sawdust in the oil of a lemon car to quiet the engine to trick a customer in buying the car.

I am surprised to say that I am a fan. My dad was in town and he loved the idea of a flea market (or a swap shop where he dragged me last time) so we stopped in on a Saturday around noon. We got kind of lucky with parking, though it is not currently snowbird season so it may have been overall less busy than usual.
I don’t think my dad was overall that thrilled with anything here, but I loved it. I had an especially good time browsing through the jewelry. They have many jewelry pagodas, usually with a mix of costume jewelry and some more expensive items, but I saw a lot of unique and beautiful pieces, some for only about $ 10. Granted it’s a lot of cheap costume jewelry, you probably won’t be leaving these to anyone in your will, but as long as it doesn’t look cheap I’m all for it.
I also stumbled across a farmer’s market. I was very impressed with the prices there with blueberries for $ 1.50, chopped kale for less than I pay an Penn Dutch, and little cucumbers 10 for $ 1. I will be pack here when I try my second round of pickling. Speaking of pickles there is a ls also a pickle stand!
I really enjoyed browsing around here. My one complaint was some of the high pressure sales tactics used by some of the stands. No I do not want your lotion on my hands and I am certainly not paying $ 50 for lotion at a flea market. I am looking forward to going back by myself when I can spend time and look at every single ring and pick out something fun and unique.

This review is on ROMANCING THE STONES booth across from the food court ONLY.
Customizing in stone merchandise.
I was looking for some mineral clusters for a friend and owner Pamela went out of her way to help look for the exact mineral stones for promoting certain healing properties I had asked for. Her selection of stones IS AMAZING. You name it, she had it from loose stones, rock clusters, pendants, rods, rings and necklaces, she even had a pair of amethyst stone things that were taller than I am (over 5 feet tall) for $ 16,000.00 They were amazing! As I was paying and getting ready to go on my way, happy with the things i purchased, Pamela reached into a basket and handed me a rose quarts stone. What a kind gesture! That was so nice of her to do! I will return for sure Their phone number is 954−984−8956.
A MUST check out booth for sure. Go get some stones!

Fun time with everything under the sun.
Now, if you are not a shopper please do not go.
Honestly this is a place for people who love to walk and love to shop.
There is clothing, hats, watches, jewelry, luggage, furniture, beauty supply, good luck charms, only seen on TV shops, perfume, scarves, trinkets and lockets, knick knacks for your pockets, kids toys and candy stores and a whole lot more.
No, we did not look in every booth but walked the length and an aisle and a half.
I expected more «older» people in scooters and walkers since I read the other reviews but maybe because it was Monday it was quiet.
My kids were in sensory overload but since I got a frozen coffee from Laura’s coffee I was calm cool and collected. That was a tasty treat, you should try one.
We spent a couple hours and got a good look around.
There was a really nice Tye dye shop towards the back where I got a super cute dress for my daughter and tshirt for my son.
The ladies were genuinely friendly, helpful and seemed to really like being there. Bonus for shoppers :)
