Flea markets in California

This is the California list. Below you'll find 14 flea markets we have been able to check. Listings include an address and the usual days and hours, plus whether the setup is indoor, outdoor, or a mix. When a market has its own website, we link to it and use that page as the source. We don't copy map pins. Map results often mix in thrift stores and one-day sales, which is a poor way to plan a drive. Los Angeles is marked here only as a reference point in the state. If you're coming from farther away, give the hours a second look. Holidays are when markets sometimes skip a week or close early. A listing can be right when we check it and stale by Saturday. Call ahead or read the official page if the trip is a long one.

Tips for visiting flea markets in California

  • Hours on a map pin go stale, especially for weekend-only markets. Use the official site or the phone number on the listing if you're driving a long way.
  • Early is for first look. Later in the day, some sellers would rather not load the van again, which is when a polite offer sometimes works better.
  • A bag helps, or a wagon if the market allows them. Measure the space in your trunk if a big piece is the hope.
  • A flea market is usually bigger than it looks from the parking lot, so wear shoes you can walk in.
