This holiday season, give back to the community of Fort Lauderdale by supporting business owners and shopping locally! It’s especially important to support local vendors and business owners in Fort Lauderdale, where much of our economy is based on local business. Here are some of the best spots in and around Fort Lauderdale to shop local.

The Swap Shop known as one of the South’s biggest flea markets, with over 2,000 local vendors stretching across 75 acres. From antiques and furniture to unique locally-made crafts and 
goods, there’s no telling what you’ll find here. Plus, it’s also an entertainment center, with amusement park rides, farmers markets, and one of the world’s largest drive in movies!
