The Pasadena City College (PCC) flea market scene is undoubtedly one of a kind, with over 400 vendors spilling into the PCC parking lots on the eastern and western portions of the campus. They all have just two goals in mind: to sell diverse products, including antiques, collectibles, articles of clothing, furniture, and records - and allow you to purchase these items at affordable prices. For one of the most unique bargain hunting experiences in SoCal, check out the PCC Flea Market in Pasadena this season.

You can join the hundreds of people who flock to the PCC Flea Market every month!

The Pasadena City College Flea Market is a fantastic community event that is typically held on the first Sunday of every month n the PCC campus, year-round, and is free to attend.

For parking, access the parking structure on the corner of Hill and Del Mar for a nominal fee.

Over 500 vendors can be found here, each offering unique items, crafts, and antiques to peruse.

Vintage-lovers: start with the records section, located on the fourth-floor ramp of the Bonnie Street parking structure, lot five. The collection is unbelievably large for a flea market, boasting over 50 vinyl records and music vendors. You can browse used CDs, DVDs, music players, and memorabilia of musical icons to present-day talents.

Expand your music library or enjoy a classic!

Head over to the other sections of the flea market, including parking structure 4, for old-fashioned toys, rustic furniture, high-end antiques, '50s-style kitsch accessories, and earthenware, as well as vintage jewelry, clothing, and trinkets.

It's a treasure trove of nostalgia!

Skip the box stores. Totally unique clothing pieces are a joy to shop through here.

Need a welcome sign? Kitschy bathroom accent piece? Check.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, so you won’t feel rushed even after shopping for hours.

It’s one of the reasons people from all over come to visit the flea market. Of course, the gorgeous vintage wares, fine antiques, and incredible prices don't hurt either.

You never know what you'll find!

If you get tired of hauling your purchased items around, you can catch the shuttle offering rides between the parking lots. It's the perfect day out!

Another wonderful reason to support the Pasadena City College Flea Market is that the proceeds pour into student scholarships and activities. Since there are two parking lots to explore, we don't doubt that you’ll find an item (or 12) that will meet your needs, all while supporting higher education.
