The Alameda Point Antiques Faireis one of the biggest and best flea markets in the state and is our go-to spot for flea market shopping in NorCal. The Alameda Point Antiques Flea Market is held on the first Sunday of the month and is a delightful shopping experience where you're sure to find all sorts of treasures. This flea market is the premier place to shop for vintage and antique home decorations, clothing, furniture, jewelry, art, pottery, books and collectibles. This is a must-do for Bay Area shoppers who love vintage collectibles. There are over 800 dealer booths at this massive NorCal flea market, all of which are at least 20 years old, so you're sure to score some great retro and vintage (and, ahem, '80s and '90s) finds at this amazing market.
The San Jose Flea Markethas been operating since 1960 and is another fan favorite. Set across over 120 acres, this larger-than-life market hosts thousands of on-site vendors. Originally opened on farmland on Berryessa Road, the flea market has grown to be one of the largest and best in the entire state...maybe even the entire West! You’ll need the whole day to see it all, so make plans to visit one of the largest flea markets in Northern California... and be sure to clean out the family minivan before you go!
