It was my first time coming to this antiques fair/flea market, though I've certainly heard a lot…read moreabout it. An annual tradition in Niles Fremont, this event promises unique vendors and historical vibes for a day of shopping, strolling, and browsing some of Fremont's oldest shops. I was disappointed that most of the goods being sold weren't actually antiques or even solid thrift finds. There were some standouts, such as vintage race jackets and personalized licensed plates from way back when, but for the most part I wasn't too impressed with the inventory. I ended up purchasing 2 cute pins for friends but they were probably things I could have bought elsewhere too. Parking was also a bit of a nightmare, though we had been warned well ahead of time that there wasn't a lot of it. Even though we got there early (7 am) we still had trouble finding a spot. Some storefronts (residents?) were charging up to $20 to park in a small cramped lot. I get that space is scarce for an event like this, but more signage and regulation would have helped. Thank goodness we had gotten there early. Overall, I'm glad I experienced this antique fair once, but as a longtime thrifter looking for something a little more special, probably won't be coming back soon.

This event was like a typical flea market, but with a few more antique vendors, and less used shoes…read moreand clothing items for sale. But offerings were limited and not too impressive. Since this town, and Niles Street in particular, is already lined with numerous antique shops, it didn't make much of a difference with merchants selling just a handful of vintage items from these outdoor tents. In fact, there were a plethora of yard sales taking place all around the neighborhood, some which had better stuff than the actual antique faire. We saw about 3-4 food/drink stands selling mexican food, hot dogs, kettle corn, and more. Not a whole lot of options and nothing really noteworthy. We did end up having giant sausages from the Giant Badass Sausage tent for lunch. It was juicy and definitely filling, and we were able to picnic on the grass at Niles Town Plaza. Parking for this event sucks! So many closed roads, with the organizers not even giving a hint to visitors as to parking options. In the neighborhood, people were selling spaces for $10-25 just to park. Along with slow moving traffic and cramped streets, it was not a fun experience. Even with a few cool items here and there, overall, this outdoor market was a disappointment. I probably wouldn't return, not worth it. I recommend just visiting the town of Niles and its antique stores on a regular day.

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 found a lot of good buys and came home with some cute items. Can't wait for next month to see what people will be selling then.

We were having a meal at State Street Market nearby and decided to check out Head West, a bunch of…read moretents lining the cross streets of State Street and 3rd Street, no more than a block in each direction. Vendors ranged from flower shops to pet boutiques, and even a clothing vendor selling $200 mens shirts (nice, but ridiculously pricey... no thanks). We did find some unique little monsters and cute merchandise at the sticker booths, and we also tipped the musician for the live music entertainment (Clementine Darling) and got more cool stickers from her too. Nothing too fancy at this outdoor marketplace (except for those shirt prices), but it was cool to explore for a good half hour. Head West is held in Los Altos every 4th Sunday of the month from March through October. The event also takes place in Alameda, Berkeley, and SF, different locations on different days.

You can browse in here forever, and it's all jammed so tightly together, There are a lot of vintage toys in here, which I think attracts a lot of people of all ages! I also saw everything from clothes to video games, all vintage, along with plenty of small collectors items!! So, it's a buy/sell/trade store. I saw plenty of people talking to the guy working here, about prices and other information. This is definitely the most popular place on Niles Boulevard!!!

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.

This was held at De Anza College. My wife really wanted to go to it because it's only once a month…read moreand we missed the last month. 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.

West Wind Capitol Flea Market offers limited amounts of fresh produce compared to the Berryessa location and its shopping offerings consist primarily of used goods. Here you will find heaping of clothing piles, an abundance of well used tools, well loved toys/action figures, and tons of accessories. There is a fee for entry and in & out privileges are allowed as long as you get a stamp before exiting. Restrooms are deathly horrendous & smelly so my suggestion is to hold it if possible or make sure to tinkle prior to your trip here. 2 stars. There is very little to no shade, bring a hat or umbrella to protect yourself from the crazy summer heat.
