Los Angeles Flea Markets You Need to Visit this Summer!
If you’re spending this Summer in the Los Angeles area and are in need of a fun, unique experience, we have a solution — flea markets! Not only do flea markets offer vintage, one-of-a-kind clothing that probably no one else will have (hello, individuality complex), they’re also a great way to connect with and support your local community while buying second-hand items and helping reduce waste! In L.A., there are tons of flea markets to visit and explore, but we’ve narrowed down a list of the essential spots to hit!
1. Odd Market: Los Feliz Flea
Free to the public, Los Feliz Flea is hosted by John Marshall High School every Saturday from 11AM to 5PM. The flea market has a vast range of vendors, including vintage clothing and collectible stands, original and handmade artwork, as well as delicious food trucks for some pre- or post-shopping fuel.

4. Melrose Trading Post (Fairfax)
Hailed as “L.A.’s favorite flea market”, Melrose Trading Post is an absolute must-visit. The flea market is held every Sunday in the lot of Fairfax High School on Melrose Avenue and is one of the largest in Los Angeles. There is a $5 entry fee at the door used to support the students of Fairfax High. At MTP, you can find all sorts of goodies, ranging from homemade skincare, fragrances, and candles, to unique vintage clothing, photography, furniture, and other collectibles. Local food vendors also set up shop in the lot’s courtyard, allowing you to enjoy your food alongside local artists who perform live music throughout the day.
