The Fairgrounds Hosts Tampa’s Biggest Vintage Expo
As a huge fan of vintage clothing, I never thought it would be as big as it is now. Yes, those old band tees from the 90’s, the wide-leg JNCO jeans, & old snapback hats have a market. For decades, fashion has always evolved, and at times rewound. Vintage is as big as it’s ever been & The Fairground Flea event that went down at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa was a testament to that.
This past Saturday (April 6th), I DJ’d the 1st annual Fairground Flea event. Let me tell you, the minute I walked in, I knew there would be a good crowd but, man! I was amazed to see how many people came to be a part of this event. Some folks from right here in Florida, to people from Atlanta & New York, all looking to score some deals on vintage clothing.
There were so many options, and something for everyone. It was a one-stop shop for those that have hit their local thrift store and don’t get as lucky as they’d hoped on the clothing they were looking to come up on. I loved the energy their, I got so much love that day for the vibes I was playing, & for the vintage bootleg tee I had on, it’s way different from any other expo I’ve DJ’d or have been too.
Everyone was supporting one another, there were no attitudes when customers were bargaining deals with vendors, solid food & good drinks, it was a perfect environment. Shout out to the two guys who were responsible for bringing together an amazing event, Antonio aka “Snacks” & JD. Can’t wait to be a part of the next one. Peep the recap above.
