Palo Alto High School Flea Market

Lovely market, lots of tables, great variety, in a lovely setting that is easy to get to. There is a parking lot that had plenty of spaces when we got there (I’ll not sure that it still will be enough at peak times). Its not the biggest flea market around but its in our backyard, easy to get to and its right across the street from Town & Country Village so you can get great food easily.

This is a legitimate flea market. I don’t see stolen goods or shady deals. Everything is up and up, family and friendly style. No fees. Plenty of free parking on the street. The prices are actually reasonable and I actually spent some hard earne cash. I can see myself renting a booth and making some dough.

This flea market is much smaller when compared to De Anza. Size and look is very similar to the Chabot Flea Market. Parking is available either in the lot near the vendors or on the street. There is no fee to park inside. Some vendors had decent merchandise, while others literally had junk. I mean, who buys a shirt with holes or coffee stains? Some vendors I noticed were the same ones who sell at De Anza, Chabot or Berryessa.
If you’re coming to check this flea market out, make sure you don’t visit on an empty stomach. When I was there, there was only one booth that had food and most of it was baked goods and soda. Another thing I noticed that was missing is an information booth for those who are interested in being a vendor or had other general questions about the flea market.
Overall, it doesn’t hurt to check it out if you’re in the area. Just like any other flea market, you never know what you’ll find…

I have actually rented space a couple of times and sold items at the Palo Alto Flea Market in the past. The first time I made quite a bit of $$
The second time I didn’t do as well as the first time. I haven’t rented a spot since. I found out that sell at a flea market is a lot of work.
About 10:00 am the Paly students come by and take orders from the vendors if you want to buy lunch of a hot dog, chips and soda. I thought that was pretty cool.
This flea market is pretty nice because it is not so huge but you can still take your time and see all the junk… I mean stuff people are selling.

This little flea market happens every 2^nd Saturday of the month. It opens at 9am and not sure when it ends? It was a small event, but one that you could take your time going through each booth, without burning out. I liked that aspect of this flea market.
I found a lot of good buys and came home with some cute items. Can’t wait for next month to see what people will be selling then.
