Regretfully, not even half the regular spots were occupied with salespeople, selling their goods. Attendance was not very good as well. With everything occurring in Orange County, it seems like the Orange Coast College swap meet, has greatly been affected. Perhaps in the upcoming weeks, selection, and value, will prevail once again. But for now, I want to show my support by being in attendance, and choosing to purchase items here today!

Once it hits 9am, that is when it gets super busy and a little difficult to find parking. Weekends are $2 entry per person. I love how there is so many vendors. There is food, clothes, shoes, miscellaneous items everywhere. I love going for fun with my parents and we find cool items for pretty good deals. Everything is pretty much laid out and you basically can bargain with the vendors. Make sure to bring lots of cash. I usually spend about 2 hours wandering around. So so fun. I definitely want to try the food vendors because I am always smelling the delicious food by the food court area.

They have convenient parking in the structures where the small businesses can validate for 2 hours.

We purchased the VIP tickets which allowed us entrance into the market two hours before everyone else. Considering how packed it became, I am grateful we had those couple of hours to visit all the tables before crowds started to form. Prices range from $ to $$$ and expect amazing artistic creations ranging from jewelry/clothing to taxidermy and even human bone art (yes it's legal). My favorite was a break in case of emergency shadow box with all the weaponry needed to fight vampires. There were musical performances and the bar was open for business. The Globe Theater had 4 levels of artisans and the lighting was good enough to see everyone's wares. Overall it was a great, haunting and esoteric experience.

September 2018 was the first Oddities Flea Market and it was returned again May 18 and 19th of 2019. The vendors here are one of kind ranging from taxidermy to clothing to art prints. Some of the brands represented here are well known while others are smaller, independent artists and labels. Due to the overwhelming success of the inaugural Oddities Flea Market in September 2018, the Cohens made the second Oddities span over 2 days which included VIP entry tickets and an exclusive after party (separate ticket entry). This really needs to be a visual review to truly see what this experience is like, visit Oddities Flea Market in instagram and explore the Oddities Flea Market hashtag to see more.

A lot of their events are also themed too and this can go with various series and franchises (Ghibli, Sanrio characters, Adventure Time, etc.), trinkets focused, $20 and under days, and much more. I'm glad that this event is revitalizing life back into the Little Tokyo Galleria Mall, which I might visit if I had to go to Daiso, I want good taiyaki or walnut cakes, or we're just randomly wandering in the area. It's not a destination I necessarily go out of my way to go to if I'm in LT, so this is nice. Just know that the air flow AC might not be the best and even during the spring months it gets really muggy and warm inside, so I can't imagine the summer events. Hopefully it's improved. Also just a fair warning, depending on the popularity of the "theme" of the flea market, there might not be THAT much of what you're purchasing. I went to the Chiikawa themed one in the past and yes there were a COUPLE vendors with original art of Chiikawa, but like no vendors had any official merchandise (or everything was already sold out by noon). Even the pop up tat artists didn't have any Chiikawa ones NOR did they have temp tattoos (you know a lot of people would pay for this and great for kids). Go with lower expectations and don't expect the theme to be super on point, but again, nice event for the community.

They also had a few tattoo vendors that will give you one on the spot. They also have a few stores around the area. Didn't buy anything from the vendors at the flea market but did buy a matcha bowl and whiskey holder for a really good price along with a sun hat at one of the stores inside the galleria. Will certainly be back, they validate parking too. That's always cool. Lost a star because they didn't really have much restaurants or places to eat or grab a snack. They also have an Asian market/grocery store, so if you want to grab groceries after checking the flea market, that's convenient.

Ave 26 Family Night Market is one of the two spin-offs from the original Ave 26/Artesian Night…read moreMarket in Lincoln Heights (shutdown by the city in August 2021 - the other market is called Ave 26 On Imperial close to Downtown LA). [Hours]: Every Saturday from 5 PM to 11 PM. Fridays will be closed in summer 2023 as the organizer wants to focus all energy and resources on a single day. [Parking]: $10 per vehicle. Confusing parking entrance with another misleading "parking" entrance, but the entrance is not right if (1) no one is collecting $10 and (2) visitors should not be driving on a dirt road. [Activities]: Currently the night market offers the following activities - free bull rides from 5 PM to 6 PM, free slime shop for the first 20 kids at 7 PM, free face painting from 7 PM to 8:30 PM, music performance from 8 PM to 10 PM, and clown show from 6:30 PM to 7 PM. [Vendors]: Admission is free, but please note that this night market has a security guard and the guard will check bags for all visitors. As the name implied, this is a "family" night market so do expect to see naughty d-cake. Our party came at 6 PM and most vendors didn't have crazy long waiting lines. There are slightly less food vendors here comparing with vendors at Ave 26 On Imperial. About 20% of vendors were selling accessories at the entrance. Some examples include: # Birria World # Two Six Kitchen (quesadillas) # Local Fish Tacos (tacos de pescado y camarón) # Carnitas Estilo Michoacan Ave 26 (carnitas tacos) # Tacos de Canasta "El Rey" (tacos de canasta aka basket tacos) # Tacos Dorados La Gringa # DragonFire BBQ (Asian skewers) - no waiting line # Tacos El Champ (TJ style) # Chiky Pancakes # Unknown boba stand # Valerie's Apples (candy apples) # Unknown pupusas stand # Unknown soul food stand # Unknown pizza stand *** Carnitas taco from Carnitas Estilo Michoacan Ave 26 ($5): Surprisingly delicious with flavorful pork. Asada and al pastor tacos from Tacos El Champ ($3 each): Probably the least expensive tacos visitors will find here - both tacos were pretty solid. Pupusa (pork and cheese with tomato sauce + salad - $4): Honestly it was the worst dish I had for the day. Pupusa and salad didn't taste good salad and tomato sauce was ... sub-par at best. *** While the night market is certainly family friendly, Ave 26 On Imperial or Night Market El Gato are much better options for anyone who's looking for more foodie options.
