Summary
Sept. 27, 2026 will be the last public day for Jacksonville’s Pecan Park Flea & Farmers Market, ending a 40-year run after the remaining 20 acres were sold.
The $8.55 million buyer is a Butler family-linked partnership that plans to redevelop the site into an automobile dealership, according to a letter vendors found on their doors this weekend.
More than 700 vendor stalls can keep operating through September, but all property must be removed by Oct. 31 or it becomes the new owners’; public access ends after October.
Vendors and shoppers described the closure as a shock and a community loss, with some small businesses now weighing where to relocate after years of weekend trade at the market.
