Vintage Roost, a massive market in Ybor City, reopens, offers curbside pickup

Ybor City is one of our favorite spots to spend a weekend — and it’s only gotten better courtesy of a new recurring weekend-long shopping event. The Vintage Roost is a 5,000 square foot market featuring about 18 vendors offering items imbued with their own distinctive vintage flair. This DIY-inspired concept is sets up shop in the heart of the city.

We’re always here for more ways to shop local and support Tampa makers and entrepreneurs.

Finding creative ways to reopen

Due to the pandemic, the market shut down. It made its triumphant return this past weekend, and will be operational again May 22-24.

This includes enforcing social distancing guidelines, and keeping all stations consistently clean and sanitized. You can also call to inquire about items you see posted on social media that you would like to purchase.
