What a cool market!…read more I stopped by Oakland Vintage Market last month to check out Pour Up Coffee's pop up. And y'all, I came for the coffee and stayed for all the gems! (The coffee was really good though, don't miss out on them either). The Market is located near Jack London Square, behind the building that houses Narrative Home Goods. There's plenty of parking around, you may just have to walk a block or so. It's also dog friendly event so feel free to bring your friendly dogs with you! The Market is outdoors with lots of vendors selling everything from clothes to books to kitchen items, etc. If you like finding unique, vintage items that you won't find anywhere else, this is the place for you! Come with something in mind that you're searching for or let the market tell you what you need. And plan to spend some time here! If you really wanted to, you could spend a couple of hours just exploring and enjoying checking out all the different items the vendors have on sale. We walked away with some coffee table books that used to belong to the Chabot College library. All the vendors were super nice and welcoming. Great energy and great vibes all around.

So cute I loved it. Walked around with my friends and got some great stuff. Something for everyoneread more

The last weekend of every month is TreasureFest - where small businesses in jewelry, food,…read morepastries, plants, art, clothing, stickers, crystals, vintage finds, pottery, music, home goods, live music and performers, and more come together to create a family-fun environment. Pet-friendly - make sure your pet is on a leash at all times. My favorite part of this event is seeing all of the cute doggies. Some are dressed up in hats, sunnies, clothes some may have gotten from vendors at the event. Each month, the selection of vendors do change -- you might see the same ones always coming back while others might not return or be back other months. It's helpful if you maybe have a cart with you -- only if you're the type of person who plans to find a lot or larger items. The vendors for the most part are placed in sections based on what they're selling. There is a food court where there are food trucks and booths selling drinks and snacks. Picnic tables, live music, entertainment for kids -- outdoor games like chess, bean bag toss, connect four, jenga, legos, hula hoops, etc.

I went to the March TreasureFest and would absolutely return. It's the perfect spot for me and my…read moreOakland/Berkeley friends to meet up. I was worried about the parking/traffic situation because the last time I went to the Alameda Antique Fair I almost lost it. Luckily, this is a well oiled machine with folks directing traffic. I arrived at 11 on a Sunday and left at 2:30. The organizers do a great job creating an event that is organized and flows. The vendors were great, tons of food trucks, interactive "survivor- inspired" games for the whole family, DJ with bubble machine, live art, a stage in the middle of the food truck area with live music, and bars and bathrooms throughout. The only complaint I have is the vendor that sells pictures with birds for "charity." First, what charity? Second, why are you out here yelling at people that are considering promoting your business? Not sure why anyone would want some weird dudes putting birds of prey on people let alone pay for it. I watched one of them have a heated exchange with a dog owner who was walking her dog past the booth. So weird. I would absolutely return to and applaud the organizers for such a well planned and executed event.

Quality/Quantity - Cool to stop by. I had a little time to…read morekill and was in the neighborhood. Not sure why, but at 1pm, most of the vendors were packing up and leaving...? Although the sign said the event ended at 3pm. Very few collector cars, plenty of parts. Was this a fundraiser for Alameda Naval Air Museum? Near the kids' play structure, there was a baked goods booth where all the proceeds went to Ukraine, so of course we had to donate. Atmosphere - People at the museum said that this swap meet is here only once a month, the first Saturday. Plenty of parking. A few classic cars, very few. Lots of booths for car parts. Service - N/A. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Wishing you all the best.

Unlike it's sister event- the monthly vintage flea, this gig is all about vehicles…read more Held on the 3rd Sunday of the month, this swap meet has all kinds of parts and pieces, like leather motorcycle seats and cool logo things pried off old cars. You can find specialized model making tools (yay!) for way cheap (Dremel-type drills and vast assortment of carbide bits, clamps, tiny parts holders and measuring devices, to name a few) You'll see cool cars and motorcycles in the parking lot, and maybe some for sale. If you are looking for contacts in the parts world, this would be a good place to haunt. They also book special events like the vintage trailer show we saw yesterday. Awesome stuff! It costs 6 bucks to get in, but the Alameda naval industrial waterline scenery alone is worth it. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle. There are some food vendors, but bringing a picnic would be fun as well. Don't speed along the flatlands, though, the cops will git ya.

It was a small event, but one that you could take your time going through each booth, without burning out. I liked that aspect of this flea market.

I grew up coming here with my parents and siblings and I remember how busy and full of life it use to be. So I wanted to have one last run here. This time I came with my own family, hubby, kids and had some of the food I had enjoyed in the past. Some of old stands are gone but they do still have a good amount of food options. Food review wise see below... Bbq ribs plate 8/10 Bbq chicken plate 7/10 Cheeseburger 6/10 (had some hard chewy pieces) Corndog 5/10 Fries 8/10 Agua frescas 9/10 but pricey at $9 each when you get 5x of them LOL. Took one pic of the cheeseburger but everyone else dug into their plates before I could take more food pics. Anyways we enjoyed it, had some decent eats and played at the arcade for a bit. Sad to see an old tradition die :(

When we asked workers can they direct us to like 2nd hand items, rummage or garage sale stuff, they couldn't direct us to resaleable items either. It makes you wonder how much are they charging their vendors. We are looking for second hand items, antiques and vintage clothing at low bargain prices. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY!!! It's not a place were merchants can sell second hand items. Go to Capital Flea Market Saturday and Sunday instead, parking is free, and $2.50 a person.

By far one of the better Flea Markets in this area. We used to live in San Jose and came a couple…read moretimes a year to wander around and get some snacks in the early morning. It's been years since we visited and decided to come back. We got lucky with parking but it can be chaotic. The parking structure and spaces are small and you will inevitably get blocked trying to leave or get in from people waiting for spots. There is a good mix of new and old here and the booths and stands are in general very organized and orderly. I also love the shaded covered over most of the parking lot, it provides some protection from the elements. Some highlights form our last visit: -There used to be a vendor here that sold really nice wool socks that were soft and thick. We weren't able to find him anymore, it was a middle aged man with a mustache, if anyone knows the name please shoot me a message. -A really nice guy was selling pokemon card repacks with cusotm packaging and my kids loved them! He was super nice and was giving away free pokemon stuff to kids. -2 booths had very clean vinyl records and cassette tapes. My brother enjoyed digging through these.

She loves to hit flea markets and thrift stores, it's not my favorite thing to do. There was a lot of pop-up tents and vendors, but... It felt more like a garage sale at times. There were some that had display cases, but for the most part, a lot of vendors just had tarps on the ground and some interesting things that they look like they were just trying to. That being said if that's your thing then I say go for it and you probably won't be disappointed. At the end, we decided to grab a bite to eat, but they're just wasn't many options. There was three or four food trucks with one of them being ice cream so we decided to leave and get food someplace else. That was a bit disappointing.

HAHAHAHA where do I begin? Although this flea market has a…read moreton of booths AND is FREE (no admission fee required), the folks selling are rude, horrible, and always seem to have a terrible day. Selling at the flea market should be fun! Prices are what you'll get for NEW in the store. No seller wants to negotiate (and further adds comments such as "I don't want to sell you, you can leave now" or adds excuses such as "it's harder to crochet small animals") even when the market is about to close. I am trying really hard to support... For example, someone in my party wanted toothbrushes. The individual selling the toothbrush placed a price tag higher than what you'll purchase in store NEW (and let's be honest, less likely to be stolen in the stores). The person in my party was willing to do a bundle deal for a mild discount (such as if one was $3, my person was willing to do 2 for $5). The seller legit says "you can leave now, I don't want to sell to you." WTF. Customer population: Mainly Hispanics Seller population: Mainly Hispanics Parking is free. Flea market is in the B zone.
