Festival Flea Market Mall, Indoor flea market in Pompano Beach, Florida, US
Festival Flea Market Mall was a 400,000 sq. ft. indoor market at 2900 West Sample Road, over a quarter-mile long, with more than 500 merchants in booths, boutiques, kiosks and a food court. Its facade had a pink upper band, a lime-green lower band and a glass storefront under a blue "FESTIVAL FLEA MARKET MALL" sign, flanked by two grey concrete towers with grids of pale panels.
The building opened in 1986 as Pompano Outlet Mall and was in foreclosure two years later; by 1989 only a movie theater remained open. A 1990 attempt to reopen it as Broward Crossing failed. Shooster Properties bought it and reopened it in 1991 as Festival Flea Market Mall, which closed permanently in 2025 and is being demolished for Festival Logistics Park.
The name Festival reflects the market's layout of booths, boutiques, kiosks and pushcarts rather than a single store. Vendors sell groceries, furniture, antiques and luggage alongside designer jewelry, electronics, clothes and shoes, drawing shoppers from South Florida and abroad. The mall closed in 2025 and is being demolished for Festival Logistics Park.
The market is easy to navigate with clear pathways throughout the large building. Wear comfortable shoes and plan to spend several hours if you want to browse all the different vendors.
Inside the market, vendors operate from spaces of vastly different sizes, from tiny booths to full stores. This mix creates an energetic shopping environment where seasoned merchants and newcomers operate side by side.
