Fundraisers are the hallmark of the Landings Landlovers organization, and the Annual Flea Market and Auctionmania are the two largest fundraisers we usually hold. Due to COVID-19 and the need for continued safety precautions, the Landlovers Board has approved a plan to change from the traditional Flea Market and Auctionmania to a new Landings-only event we are calling The Marketplace.

The Marketplace will be held on Saturday, May 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the north part of the Palmetto Clubhouse Parking Lot. It will be open only to Landings residents, friends, and guests, and will be a festive, fun environment with shops, rather than tables, to purchase goods. Think…The Art Gallery, The Furniture Place, The Jewelry Shop, Collectors Corner, Sporting Goods and Hardware Supply, The Kitchen Depot, Home Décor Store, The Electronics & Small Appliances Warehouse, Linens Plus, Kids Junction, and Gardener’s Den. We also plan to have food, drinks, music, and games for the kids.

There will be a two-day intake on Saturday, May 1 and Monday, May 3, also in the Palmetto parking lot. Intake will focus on quality items, not the quantity of items. Let’s say that again! Intake will focus on quality items that your neighbors would be interested in purchasing, not the quantity of items. You also can donate your furniture, cars, boats, motorcycles, etc., through the Flea Market Pre-Intake, where we’ve partnered with a local auction house for the period leading up to the 2021 Marketplace Intake. To donate these larger items, please email fleamarketintake@gmail.com.
