The biggest part of the downtown economy in Arcadia is antiques. There are rows and rows of quaint shops full of years past treasures. You can find baby food warmers that are a half century old and furniture from the 1800s. The nice thing about the antiques here is the price. They are amazingly reasonable. Arcadia has been voted the best place for antiques in Florida.
Once a month the downtown association has a street fair-the fourth Saturday. The streets are jammed with people selling old linens, jewelry, and household items that were part of our grandmother's era. The prices are great and the selection is unbelievable. There is music and wonderful food cooked right there by local churches and others. This is a great way to spend a Saturday and drop out of the rat race.
I am including some links to view what is available-enjoy!
