Totally Rad Vintage Fest, a traveling vintage market with prior stops in Detroit, Las Vegas, and Baton Rouge, arrives at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall on Saturday, September 12. General admission opens at 10 a.m. and runs until 5 p.m. Early entry is available beginning at 8:30 a.m. for buyers who want first access to more than 100 vendor booths. Tickets are through Humanitix.
The vendor floor covers clothing, accessories, records, toys, and home goods from the 1980s, 1990s, and Y2K era. Vintage attire is encouraged. The event's own promotional materials bill it as "the raddest vintage event in the universe" — a label the organizers appear to support with a program that extends well beyond the retail floor.
Alongside the vendors, the show includes a free-play arcade and the Rad Rewind Museum, described by the organizers as a collection of retro gadgets and cultural artifacts. Recreated throwback scenes are staged throughout the Expo Hall for photos, rounding out a format that pairs experiential programming with the shopping floor.
The Tampa stop follows Totally Rad Vintage Fest's appearances in Detroit, Las Vegas, and Baton Rouge — a routing that points to an established touring circuit rather than a one-off regional show. Whether the Florida State Fairgrounds date recurs annually is not addressed in the available source, which is the event's Instagram announcement. September 12 is the confirmed date. Early entry at 8:30 a.m. is the practical option for buyers with specific items in mind.
