Oh damn, it’s Brocante Vintage Market’s last go-round. If you haven’t been to this massive vintage market, you’ll want to cancel your weekend plans so you can swing by before it closes its doors for good. The market — packed with vintage finds from old-school board games, to furniture, to (most likely) out of commission typewriters and cameras — is across the street from 3 Daughters Brewing, so we encourage you to get a little buzzy to make the crowd more bearable, and your finds feel more exciting. Before you pull out the tissues, Brocante will be replaced by Vintage Marche and is set to host its first market on January 4-5. Expect a similar concept by the new owners, with fresh and OG vendors. Before we welcome the newbie, slide by Brocante, where admission and parking are free, allowing you to save all of your coins for that Charlie Brown thermos you have your eye on.
Open at 9 a.m. Sat. Dec. 7 (closes 7 p.m.) and Sun. Dec. 8 (closes 5 p.m.) Brocante Market, 2200 2nd Ave. S., St. Petersburg. Brocantemarket.com
