What started out as a little yard sale that a husband and wife team set up to sell things they had bought and fixed up, is now a flea market with hundreds of vendors selling a variety of goods. On top of that, there are both indoor and outdoor areas, a food court, beer garden and much more!

 

From its humble beginnings in 1966, Wagon Wheel Flea Market has grown to be one of the largest flea markets around and continues to surprise visitors every weekend, rain or shine. Today, both the Wagon Wheel Flea Market and Mustang Flea Market share the same location at Pinella Park, Florida, giving you two great experiences all in one place!

 

What gave the market its name you ask? Well, when the owner wanted to mark the location as the market site, he realised he had a wagon wheel, placed it at the side of the road and Wagon Wheel Flea Market was born! 

 

To find your way around the market, we recommend grabbing a directory that can be found at every entrance of the market and the office. The map of Wagon Wheel Flea Market will show you where important facilities like bathrooms and ATMs are located as well as feature vendor listings and their locations.

Wagon Wheel Flea Market is an absolute treasure trove. Find common items like furniture, antiques, pet-related items, appliances, speciality food items and more. You can also spot more special and unique finds like karaoke machines, reptiles and yeti cups (which have got to be our favourite!).
