Looking to see if there are any outdoor flea markets food/souvenirs, etc. in Aruba. My travel book says there is a dockside bazaar in Oranjestad but book is out of date. Any information would be appreciated!

Lots of local huts along the waters edge in downtown. Right next to the paddock restaurant. Can't miss them during the day. Flea market on weekends on the main drag into downtown between highrises and downtown.

Besides the stalls downtown next to The Paddock, there are 2 Flea Markets on weekends. One is at Certified Mega Mall by the supermarkets. The other is across from Divi Golf Course (passing Certified Market go straight after traffic light by The Promenade Restaurant at Sun Plaza Mall).

The Flea market at the Certified Mega Mall by the supermarkets is really good. They have a stand that makes excellent barbaque chicken & ribs....

The one by the Divi is differant, it is kind of small but has a mixture of tourist and local stuff, and new and used things

Not in walking distance. You can take the bus in front of Marriott Hotel (not Ocean or Surf Cllubs). It will be about a 10 min. bus ride. Just tell the bus driver you want to get off at Certified. Bus fare is $2.30 US round trip.

Certified MegaMall fleamarkets does not happens every month, Arvefa fleamarket is every weekend ( saturdays and sundays ) Arvefa is the one very close to Certified MegaMall, then you have the Drive Inn fleamarket in Santa Cruz ( ex drive inn open air movie theater ) this one is once each first week of each month.

Does anyone know what hours the little "flea market" held on Sat's & Sun's (I think???...is it open on Sundays?) held on the main road between the grocery stores on the way to and from the airport/hotels is open? We always see it on sat's but we never are able to go due to our arriving/departing. I'm hoping they are open on Sunday's as well and need the hours.

Thanks!
1 day and a wake up!!!
