Miami outdoor markets and flea markets

We may miss out on the bright-hued changing of the leaves but fall still happens in Miami and the cooler weather makes it the ideal time to visit outdoor markets. Even with our warm weather, several of the flea markets and outdoor markets continue year-round while others open only during fall months and during that time oftentimes expand their offerings.

Miami's flea markets are the perfect opportunity to find great bargains and unique gifts and also good for watching live local music, grab a bite from local vendors and take advantage of services as well.

Next time you're wondering where to head for a unique experience, peruse the list below, it includes some of our favorite flea markets and outdoor markets in Miami.
