I recommend it as a novel shopping experience. It is big overall with lots of individual shops. It is more like a flea market than a mall. So, "Marketplace" is accurate. You can find about anything from housewares to clothing and much much more. I would say that most items are off brand and therefore less expensive. The brand items like shoes for instance are probably closeout items. The place was clean enough and had a food court. It was an interesting experience and I found some low cost necessities. So, it was worth the visit and helped pass the time on a cloudy cool non-beach day in Florida.

Went there and half the stores are out of business. Lots of jewelry and watches for sale. Food court has not much to offer. Clothes stores very expensive. This flea market seems to be on the decline and I remember it being much better years ago.

They have great stores in there and the people are so nice. Sandy at CreativeWear by Sandy is awesome. I love all her designs and she can customize any shirt you want. Love the Bing Bing! I enjoy walking in the air conditioning instead of the heat. They have a great food court with a wide selection of food. It all depends on your mood.

Interesting place. I've never really been to indoor flea markets like this until I moved to Florida so it's very new to me. A lot of the stuff here I wouldn't buy, but it's fun to look at. But can I say that the haunted house they have here during Halloween is amazing! It's free and my kids had an amazing time! The haunted house gets 5 stars, the market gets 3. So i'm rating it 4 stars.

Car show today, though only about 4 aisles of classics and muscle cars to view; went inside and things are pretty much the same as 5-10 years ago, though the food court has a lot more to choose from. Also, there is an Escape Room business on the north-east corner I'd not seen years back.

I have been coming here for years and have a couple venders that I like to shop at . This flea market has a little bit of everything and is an indoor mall. About the mall It used to be a Pompano outlet mall prior to its transformation into a flea marketFestival Flea Market Mall is now a private company established in 1991 and incorporated The mall opened as Pompano Outlet Mall in 1986, and was put into foreclosure only two years after it opened. By 1989 the original outlet mall had closed entirely save for a movie theater. After a failed attempt to reopen it in 1990 under the name Broward Crossing, it was purchased by Shooster Properties and reopened in 1991 as a flea market The movie theater is gone . My favorite venders are the Asian venders that sell jade jewelry and also the ones that sell the inexpensive hats and sun glasses .

I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed the Festival Marketplace. I haven't been in a while and my last impression was run down. I went in this time, and I saw that they were remodeling, they had a lot of mixed retail high-end and budget wise vendors. They have a few restaurants. All of them seem pretty tasty. I haven't tried them, but I will next time. But I definitely did do a lot of shopping. I honestly did not think I was going to spend that much time in there and I found a lot of deals. I found exactly what I wanted. Also, if you check in with the information booth they will give you a sheet that you can use all day that has about 4 coupons. You'll see it in the photos, those coupons can be used on regular price purchases throughout the market. There is a cute dress shop directly across from the food court and the woman there was extremely helpful. I purchased two dresses from there. Also, the shop called Dale Drops really does have excellent deals. Check out my photos. I can't wait to see what they do with the rest of the place.

Shopper beware of the Flirty Diva store at the Festival Marketplace. The owner, Ronit, has no integrity or ethics. She doesn't put any price tags on her clothing so she can make up a price based on how much money she thinks a customer has She also will not accept any returns or exchanges for any reason. This shows that she does not stand behind her product. She likes to accuse everyone of stealing from her. She treats her employees very poorly and unfairly which is why nobody ever lasts working there for more than a few months. She is disliked by all of the other merchants in stores around hers because she is nasty and unkind. She is not worthy of support from the customers at the Festival Market Place. In fact, she should be driven out of business because of how she treats customers and people. Terrible, terrible owner. Terrible, terrible place to shop.

This review is strictly based on the food court and the Chinese food booth. My wife likes to shop at the festival and we have had lunch in the food court a few times now but The lady behind the counter at the Chinese food is not only rude, but very slow to help you if you need or want to have some questions answered about their product. It appears to me like she doesn't want to be there half the time she's either looking at her phone and won't look up to greet you even if you're standing there for a while or looks like she's sleeping in a chair. My suggestion is get somebody that has a little bit of customer service you might sell more product. ( Bump on a log )

I bought a wig here from wigs by Jolie..over last ten years bought many wigs from this place for me, my sister and daughter. I was told they no longer carried the brand I had before. Which none knew I was wearing a wig and showed me one (did a lot more money) and said it was the same. When I wore it at home (and I had not told my daughter) she knew instantly I had a new wig on and said it Looked wiggy and awful. Jolies would not exchange citing Fla law. I wrote to the manager of festival flea market and got the same bs remark. Buyyour wigs on Amazon..this is the kind of treatment which will put these kind of places out of business, hopefully.

I have been to this market just once before many, many years ago. Before I was ever a Yelper. I remember it being bustling, and that it had a farmer's market. I was utterly disappointed on this trip. There are a LOT of empty stalls and there wasn't many customers. I saw a lot of the same type of shops. Shoes, cheap clothes, jewelry and knick knacks. I wouldn't buy jewelry here though. I wouldn't come back unless I'm looking for something that it's specifically sold here. On the plus side, they have a nice and big private parking lot.

I hope they get it going again. It used to be super packed with vendors I think they were closing and now they might have gotten a second chance It's a great place to take a elderly relative or friend for a walk and look at some cool stuff

I had a very scary experience today. I bought some nuts at Im Nuts For You at the Festival Flea Market. The owner assured me that they were organic and had a sign stating that they were. I told him that I was severely allergic to the pesticides used on conventional, raw nuts. After eating some of the nuts, I got SO sick and could not breathe. Parts of my body got numb and tingly. It was VERY scary. I have had many allergic reactions, but none so severe. I had to get immediate medical attention. I thought that I was going to die. I have had food allergies for over 30 years. Today, I learned a big lesson. I will never take anyone's word again. I reported him to a few agencies. He could have caused me to lose my life. I did go back to him right before the reaction got bad. He had a smug look on his face and all he said was, "They are organic." I told him that he could kill people. He never apologized or offered to give me back my money. This owner is selling conventional nuts at organic prices. Don't buy from him.

Tacky, gaudy, low-end trashy items. It houses Hillsborough Antique Mall -- which I was trying to find. The GPS took me here. I asked for help finding the antique mall and some snotty, unfriendly shop clerk barely gave me the time of day in helping me locate the antique mall.
