By Jody Conrad | Special to the Press Gazette
Will the show go on, or won’t it? That is the question.
The annual Flea Across Florida, an event held every second Friday and Saturday in April, is officially cancelled due to continued COVID concerns.
But according to several locals who traditionally participate, a scaled-down version of the event will take place, albeit unofficially.
Flea Across Florida traverses the Panhandle and beyond, stretching along Highway 90 from Pensacola to Jacksonville. Traditionally the route encompasses yard sales and open air markets in towns and cities along the way.
