Car Boot Sale & Wardrobe Clear-out Poggio-Mezzana

Car Boot Sale and Wardrobe Clear-out in Poggio-Mezzana, May 8th

Every year on May 8th, the Place de la Mairie of Poggio-Mezzana (plain sector) comes alive with a second-hand market mixing car boot sale and wardrobe clear-out. From 9 am to 5 pm, private sellers and local creators take over the square to offer a wide range of items: clothing, jewelry, decor, leather goods, fashion accessories, and artisanal products.

The event stands out for its mix of genres: you'll find both the classic finds of a car boot sale (used items, second-hand clothes, small furniture) and the discovery of local artisanal creations. A raffle with exhibitor participation livens up the day and offers visitors the chance to leave with some surprises. Light catering is available on site to refuel without leaving the premises.

Poggio-Mezzana, between the eastern plain and Castagniccia

Poggio-Mezzana is a commune in Haute-Corse (20230) located on the eastern plain of Corsica, on the edge of Castagniccia. The village consists of two distinct geographical entities: the historic village perched on the heights, and the more recent plain area, developed along the national road and housing shops and services. It is in this plain sector that the car boot sale takes place, on the Place de la Mairie, accessible to all.

The commune is a member of the Costa Verde, an intercommunal territory grouping the communes of the eastern plain between Aléria to the south and Moriani to the north. The Intercommunal Tourist Office of Costa Verde regularly promotes local events, including this May car boot sale/wardrobe clear-out.

A festive May 8th in Haute-Corse

May 8th, a public holiday in France commemorating the victory of 1945, is traditionally a day of high attendance for local markets and events in Corsica. The local population, being available, readily gathers in the village square to stroll, shop, and enjoy a beautiful spring day. The mild climate of the eastern plain in May—sunny and still cool before the summer heat—makes this event particularly pleasant.

The Poggio-Mezzana car boot sale is part of the tradition of large outdoor days in Costa Verde, which benefit from the beauty of the landscapes between sea and mountain, with the first foothills of Castagniccia visible from the plain.
