New Artisan Market Comes to South Gate Sarasota

Hunting & Gathering

Though many markets took a hiatus this past year, we've been emphatically embracing the welcoming return of familiar ones, as well as a few new ones to the scene. 73 Degree Flea, local market management company, went all out with its first South Gate Farmers Market on December 17, followed by the final Rosemary Indie Market of 2020.  The 70 Fleas are small but mighty -- fostering a sense of community and providing a hip market experience in that showcase various local artists, makers and designers at Sarasota and Bradenton breweries or beer gardens. Ergo, it's time to mark your 2021 calendars for every 3rd Thursday of the month, from 4:00pm - 8:00pm for a new batch of market days.

"That's right - we're starting a new, monthly farmers market at the South Gate Community Center right off the Tuttle and Siesta traffic circle," explains Farrel Hansen, 73 Degree Flea founder and market coordinator.  "We'll be hosting local craft vendors with produce, desserts, tea, prepared foods, knife sharpening services, candles, jerky, all-natural and pet products, dry herbs and so much more!." On-site, local food trucks include Cornerstone and Company as well as Perry's BBQ.  And on every 3rd Saturday of the month til April, the Rosemary Indie Market will take up residence at Mandeville Beer Garden from 11:00am-  4:00 pm with over 30+ vendors. On the day of the market, grab a coffee and head over for some live music, which kicks off right at 11am. December featured an all-male line-up starting with Ben Jacobs, followed by Justin Layman. Get your sun hats and tote bags ready, market season is upon us and we couldn't be happier about it.
