The Biggest And Best Flea Market In Northern California, Alameda Point Antiques Faire Is Now Re-Opening
There’s no question that the last few months have called for some major adjustments to daily life, including our shopping habits. Since many stores have been closed due to the pandemic, we simply haven’t been doing as much shopping (okay, some of us have simply pivoted to online shopping.) However, places are slowly but surely opening back up, including the biggest and best flea market in Northern California. This popular antiques fair will officially re-open in just a matter of days, and here’s all you need to know about it.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
There's good news for antique lovers! The Alameda Point Antiques Faire has announced they'll be reopening soon. Here's all you need to know if you'd like to check out one of the biggest and best flea markets in the state.
The next antiques faire will take place on July 5, 2020. The market received official permission from the city and county of Alameda to hold the market with the addition of some very important modifications. If you'd like to attend the market, you'll definitely want to read up on these new guidelines.
First of all, only a limited number of tickets to the popular flea market will be sold. This is to reduce the number of customers on the show field at one time and make it easier to comply with physical distancing. Tickets will not be sold at the event, so purchase them ahead of time here.
During the event, guests are asked to maintain a distance of six feet between other guests at all times. Also, everyone is required to wear a face mask. Hand sanitizer will be available at hand washing stations and ATMs, and bathroom facilities will be sanitized more frequently.
These modification will make for a different experience, but it won't change the amount of cool stuff you're bound to come across. As one of the largest antique shows in Northern California, the fair typically attracts over 800 dealers—each of which boasts a unique assortment of vintage goods that are at least 20 years or older.
Usually, the Antiques Faire is held on the first Sunday of every month. It's the ultimate place to shop for antique decor, clothing, furniture, jewelry, art, and so much more. You won't be able to resist taking a few of these special items home with you!
This massive antique show is a favorite among many, so consider getting out of the house and perusing the endless aisles of items at the upcoming show. Just don't forget your mask! For more information about the Alameda Point Antiques Faire, visit their website.
