Market Bazaar at the Shoppes of Wilton Manors Today
If you are looking for something interesting to do today, one suggestion is to head over to the Drive. There's always something going on there, but today you can rub shoulders with your neighbors while looking for treasures and knick knacks. Usually there are some food vendors and you can get some fresh produce - their bell peppers are usually amazing. Every month it seems to grow a little larger and since the weather is cool and is pleasant today, the crowd will be bigger still.
Today from 9am until 2pm at the Shoppes of Wilton Manors, there will be the monthly Market Bazaar flea market. This is headed by Wilton Manors Main Street business of the quarter recipient Nikki and Steve Rose from their iconic coffee shop Java Boys. If you make it there, stop in and say hi to Nikki and Steve, they'll treat you like family and let them know we sent you. Their Facebook page has some pictures from the shop, so if you can't manage to get in for some Joe and a bit of a snack, you can see the place here.
This is a monthly scheduled event that has all sorts of new and used items, and has rapidly become one of the things that locals look forward to. It is a great way to meet your neighbors, get some coffee or visit some of the other shops at the center, and be a part of your community.
The address is 2030 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors, FL, 33305
