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.

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.

If you love a good treasure hunt without the crazy marked-up prices of vintage pop-ups, this is…read moreeasily one of THE BEST monthly traditions in the South Bay. It happens only on the FIRST SATURDAY of every month from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the campus parking lots. It's basically a massive mix of vintage items, clothes, plants, vinyl, antiques, and local crafts/vendors without being ridiculously over-priced. Parking is free and there are a few food trucks on the side. Even if you don't want to buy anything it's a great spot for a Saturday stroll.

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.

Individuals kept wondering if the flea market will ever be back... And it did come back! EVERY 2nd/SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH, March to November, 9am to 2pm And now FREE PARKING! It used to be $2 to park! I gave it the rating I did because/ 1. Since the re-opening, I never purchased a single thing 2. Vendors are all pretty much the same (and it's hilarious some of the faces are familiar and seen at estate sale hunts) 3. Love how they attempt a theme and have added old school cars to the mix! 4. The vendors are not the nicest... they don't budge and are not willing to negotiate (I mean that's the fun of flea markets!) 5. Kind of pricey. Pretty much all antique and used items. A couple of vendors sell new but very "made in China" items 6. Products are often repeated aka the same 7. It's not huge... you could probably walk the entire thing in less than 30 minutes Would I come back? I just love estate sales, rummage sales, flea markets, etc. It's great to walk around especially when you don't have the mindset of "must have to buy"

We came during winter and it was very quiet and small. I don't know if it's always timed like this…read morebut there is a car meetup in the parking lot next to it that the kids enjoyed going to. For summer break we decided to start the day here and find lunch close by. It was much larger and busier than it was in Winter. The great thing is free parking and free admission, the walk from parking to the fleamarket is very close. If you want to sell here the pricing per spot is low and you can pull in easily with your car. I believe each spot is $20 and this fleamarket happens the 2nd Saturday of every month. They do a good job of attracting vendors with that sell newer items in bulk, more classic garage style bring your old junk, plants, antiques, and some food trucks. The coolest thing we did was probably the train ride that goes through the fleamarket and car show. The car show area did smell like something peope like to smoke though :) It does get hot later in the day in Summer so best to come early. We ended up leaving with some nice snacks and old books for the kids.

L O C A T I O N There are two locations for paid parking which was stated on the website. Paid garage located at 1278 S 10th Street Paid parking lot located at 350 E. Humboldt Street We opted for the closer parking. Luckily you can pay on mobile if you have reception. I luckily did out of the 4 of us that were there. Otherwise, you'd have to wait in line to pay at the kiosk. So budget some time to pay for waiting for the kiosk in case you don't have cell phone reception. Parking was $15 + fee. E V E N T It's a large park and if you show up as one of the first 100 people, you get a free tote bag with this year's design for the event. Unluckily even though we showed maybe half an hour after the opening, it was all gone. So make sure you go early if you want the freebie. The event itself is free and it's outdoors so you can bring your furry friend but they need to be leashed. There are large water filling stations and port o potties. Feel free to bring your water canteens. It said you couldn't bring outside drinks or food but we were able to bring in our own filled bottles as well as some Starbucks drinks. But of course worse case is that you have to bring back your stuff to your car. It's not a far walk but it's still a walk from the parking structure. They do have a nice map of the booths as well as events throughout the day. They also have a bunch of food stands and trucks there if you want to make it a day. We opted to just go outside for food as the lines were long and the day was hot. Although not as big as the Winterfest, this event was a nice outdoor one with various craft goods. I always am in awe with all these makers. They're all so talented! O V E R A L L If you're wanting to do some walking and perusing of crafts, it's not a bad way to spend a couple hours of your day. I'm unsure if there's any free parking around, but you could try searching. We just didn't do much research on it.

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.

I saw lots of little things I wanted to buy, like the tiniest Labubu I've ever seen, but didn't end up purchasing anything. Most of the clothes and accessories for females seemed targeted toward young people, but I'm glad I stopped in and checked out all of their cute loot.

Harajuku "the bay's cutest marketplace" holds various events and festivals throughout the bay area…read moreregularly. We attended the Lumpia Fest in Newark this past Saturday, and there were plenty of vendors to explore and fill our bellies. Merchandise booths selling plants, stickers, totes, plushies and stuffed toys of various sizes, with no shortage of sanrio, pokemon, and kawaii character products. Food tents offering a diversity of snacks and beverages including Nepali street food, Thai and Vietnamese dishes, and of course filipino cuisine. We got pork bbq skewers, cheeseburger lumpia, papaya salad, and aguas frescas, from several different vendors. Everything overpriced, but delicious. The weather was breezy, but so hot due to zero shade at the event, so we fried in the sun as we enjoyed our meals in the eating area which had a few tables set up with seating. Even the DJ's sound equipment seemed to be melting in the heat, the music playing through the speakers (mainly pop and hip hop tunes) becoming slow and jumbled, almost like a horror movie. We didn't stay long, as there was nothing that really captured our attention, not much on the entertainment side, just a raffle. It's a decent event to get a few items for little ones who are fans of Japanese anime, Hello Kitty, or the cute monster Labubu, while snacking on some good eats at a premium cost. But the price for admission on top of that is a bit excessive for what you get. 3 stars for overall value and experience.
