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.

Many years ago the Red Barn was a well known prominent venue for antique hunting. The location is…read moreperfect; just south San Jose on 101 and 156 east of Castroville from PCH (Hwy 1). The red colored barn stands conspicuously on the east side of the freeway. Antique and flea market vendors would be inside the barn hawking their vintage treasures to bargain hunters. The Red Barn still stands, repainted and looking redder than ever. On a recent Sunday, I went there hoping to spend a day rummaging through pre-owned valuables and keepsakes. Unfortunately, the Red Barn have been turned into a full fledge carnival style out door market. No vintage or antiques in sight. Just new products e.g. knock-off sport apparels, jerseys, caps, sombreros, jeans, costume bling bling, Spanish pop CDs, fruits, vegetables and taquerias selling tacos, papas, tortas, chorizos and panaderias selling lots of pan. There were lots of Pacifico chelas (practically, almost everyone had a can in hand). There's even a bouncy area for kids to play while grown-ups sip on their cervazas. Sadly, I left disappointed within two hours after wasting $10 for parking.

The selection was small compared to similar outdoor markets, as was the event as a whole, with vendors selling jewelry, clothing, baskets, animal themed merchandise, and even Groot planters (at the Sassy Succulent Designs tent). Nothing too unique, but it was a carefree and positive atmosphere that beats your typical black friday shopping. Not much of a crowd, not much parking available (tiny lots were packed), not much music, and not much food on site (I only saw one food truck and one kettle corn stand)... Though a couple of the vendor tents were selling tasty desserts and treats to take home, and that alone made up for what seemed to be missing here. I got a cute baby size loaf of banana chocolate chip bread from the sweetest ladies at Lisa's Sweet Treats, and it was super delicious, I regret not getting more. That was the highlight of my visit!

There's jewelry supplies, jewelry (fine, sterling, vintage and costume), clothing, music, books, rocks, sea specimens, furniture, home decor, shoes, vintage items etc! The vendors are friendly and affordable. Some may be expensive but it honestly depends on what you're looking for. Bring cash! Not everyone uses zelle, venmo, or PayPal. Some vendors do take cards. I easily spend 2+ hours here. I absolutely love scavenging. I highly suggest you bring quarters to feed the meters or have the ParkMobile app downloaded. Wearing sunscreen during the summer is another good idea.

As I walked in I asked an employee if this place was a dollar pound and he said yes. Didn't realize it was $2.99 until I got to the register. There was a ton of people here and people have no Courtesy whatsoever. They're throwing stuff everywhere on the floor. It makes me wonder how they keep their house. Especially if they throw stuff around at stores like that... It says a lot about their cleanliness. All of a sudden I saw people line up and I asked an employee what that was about and I guess they're all waiting for the supposed new merchandise to dig in. That's just freaking crazy. People act like they're gonna find a golden nugget or something. The stuff here is very dirty and not organized at all

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.
