In true Tampa Bay fashion, a former dog track has found its second life as a farmers’ and flea market.
The Pinellas Farmers & Flea Market is now a weekend fixture at Win! Derby, formerly known as Derby Lane, at 10490 Gandy Blvd. in St. Petersburg. The market—also known as an Asian food paradise—takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m.-1 p.m., with free admission and free parking.
Launched in late 2021 by organizer Shawn Yang at a Largo site, the market relocated after Pinellas County purchased the original property for a new government campus, according to St. Pete Rising. It found a permanent home at the 130-acre Win! Derby site last fall and has been hosting weekly markets there ever since, as the property moves forward under new ownership.
Shoppers can browse a mix of over 200 vendors that offer seasonal produce like Sweetheart Lychee and fresh durian, as well as hand-crafted household products and antiques ranging from polished silver to Pokémon cards. The food court highlights cuisines ranging from Hmong and Vietnamese pho to BBQ, Mexican and Filipino fare.
