Advantages: Admission is Free, Parking is Free

Disadvantages: Not all the stalls are in one place

It is held every first Sunday of the month at Pasadena City College parking lot. There is a five stories parking structure just right in the center. Since it is free admission, parking is free also. So it is always full of visitors. Sellers permits are issued to full-time Pasadena City College students at a reasonable price and experienced vendors. Since there are several parking lots, one has to walk around different parking lots to hunt for good stuff. The two major ones are in front of the College near the tennis court, which is big enough for visitors to spend half of the day. You can find collectible items like antique, toys, home deco, electronics, records, posters... It is considered as the best records swaps in southern california.

I usually went there to look for old toy characters' items. I am happy because I can always find some rare collectible items. Although it is not as big as the Rose Bowl Flea Market, it is easier to browse around, and not so dusty. There are many vendors in Rose Bowl selling old shoes and levi's jeans. So whenever the wind blows, you will easily get caught with the old shoes' smell and it will ruin your shopping mood. Go there early to avoid parking problem. Vendors usually leave around 2:00 pm. Prices are not cheap since most of the vendors are very experienced. Don't worry about food. There are plenty of restaurants across the street. Or there are people selling snacks and coffee in the main area.

Time: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm.
Address: 1570 E. Colorado Blvd. Pasadena,
CA 91106-2003
