What the Hawaiian Islands lack in the luxuries of mainland shopping, they make up for with beautiful beaches, stellar views and a laid-back lifestyle, as well as a few incredible flea markets and swap meets. Whether you’re looking for a good bargain, a unique treasure, or simply a fun way to spend a weekend afternoon, you won’t be disappointed at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet.

The Aloha Stadium Swap Meet opened in 1979 and has since become the state’s largest open-air flea market, featuring more than 400 vendors, crafters, and artists from around the world.
