Weekend Markets - Retro Finds and Eco Treats
Weekends at the Mall are all about the
Lincoln Road Farmer's
Market, a perfect way to keep your cooking local, seasonal
and organic. Eco-conscious locals make their way along the
mall Sundays starting at 9am to get the first pick of fresh
fruit, veggies, flowers and plants. LincolnLocal's favorite
vendors craft homemade jam, bake bread and even cultivate
fresh honey to offer at the market. On alternate Sundays at
the west end of the mall, an Antique and Collectibles Market
attracts area decorators and fashionistas looking for
vintage treasures, Mid-Century furnishings and Florida
memorabilia. Find the Perfect Pampering Oasis
