On 22-23 August 2026, Corsica's flea markets and antique fairs run all weekend: nearly 200 shops cut prices in central Ajaccio, Bastia opens its summer sale on Saturday, Bonifacio follows on Sunday.
Seven in the morning, on a car park along the Costa Verde.
The weekend of 22 August 2026 has the island trading from Aregno in the Balagne down to the straits of Bonifacio. Nearly 200 shops cut prices in central Ajaccio, Bastia opens its summer sale on the same day, Bonifacio follows on Sunday.
Four days of street sale in central Ajaccio
From 19 to 22 August 2026, the Grande Braderie of central Ajaccio takes over the shopping streets of the Corse-du-Sud prefecture. Saturday is its final day.
Close to 200 traders take part, with advertised discounts of 50 to 70 per cent.
No other event on the island fields that many stalls this weekend.
Clothing, shoes, bags, jewellery, homeware: the sale covers most of what the town centre sells. The federation of traders' associations, the Corsican chamber of commerce and the city of Ajaccio run it jointly, which gives it the reach of a municipal event rather than that of a few shopfronts acting alone.
This is not a car boot sale. The tables come out of the shops themselves, across one perimeter and four consecutive days, and the braderie counts as the largest commercial and festive fixture of the Ajaccio summer. It comes back every August, over four days.
Collectors after older objects wait for Sunday morning.
Saturday at the old ASPTT ground, Sunday on the squares
On Saturday the former ASPTT ground at Sarrola-Carcopino hosts the Grande Brocante Vide-Greniers, some 50 sellers laying out old furniture, crockery, clothes and curiosities from 8am to 6pm, free entry for visitors, pitches at 15 euros, a bar, toilets and 500 parking spaces. Along the Costa Verde, the Moriani-Plage antique market gathers around 40 professional dealers the same day, antiques, old objects and collectors' pieces between sea and mountain, in the seaside hamlet of San-Nicolao. In Porto-Vecchio, the Corse Parkinson car boot sale sets up as many as 30 sellers at the Bar Pimpan from 7am to 2pm, on private ground, open to private individuals living in the Sud Corse district and free to walk into.
Sunday starts early everywhere.
On Place Saint-Nicolas in Bastia, the Sunday flea market brings together about 30 dealers and private sellers from 7am to 1pm around old furniture, postcards, books and bric-a-brac, facing the sea in the historic heart of the Haute-Corse capital. In Ajaccio, the Boulevard Pascal Rossini flea market lines up as many stalls along the pavement, opposite the secondary school and the municipal swimming pool, the Sunday fixture of the town's collectors.
In the Balagne, Aregno flea market takes over every Sunday morning opposite the Algajola beach, furniture, bric-a-brac, clothes and books laid out between sea and maquis. On the eastern plain, the Borgo car boot sale occupies the Route de la Gare from 6am to noon, 50 sellers at most, clothes, crockery, furniture and toys, free entry.
