The Scene
Sure, the Rose Bowl's granddaddy of a flea market is more famous, but Pasadena's other market is often cited by collectors and bargain hunters as their favorite. Despite its 500 vendors, the market isn't too overwhelming and the mood is quite relaxed. Most importantly, though, the market is chock full of fantastic antiques and collectibles, clothing, furniture and more, often at surprisingly decent prices.
The Goods
Deco dressers, fabrics and linens from the '40s, Fiestaware from the `30s, metal lawn furniture from the `50s. Vinyl lovers, take note: On the east side of campus--Lot 6 on Bonnie Avenue--you can trade discs at one of the Southland's best record swaps, drawing more than 70 record vendors. With the generally low to mid price tag, customers can pick up a children's oak rocker for $10 or a lime-green Formica table for $100.

My husband and I have been to almost every flea market in this area. A different one every Sunday of the month. The PCC one is by far our favorite. Admission is free compared to $5-$8 per person at others. The selection is huge! We always find something, whether it was what we were looking for or not. We love the booths that sell used books for $1 each! If you're into flea markets, you gotta check this one out.

The parking lots are not FREE, I made this mistake and got a $25 ticket. That said, in the garage it's $2 to park, you have to buy the ticket from one of the ticket machines. The flea market is FREE to attend, and you will find good deals. Two lots outside and three levels in the parking garage which is great during hot sunny days.

I went to get a red rug and believe it or not I found it. The price was right and the lady was very nice. The parking is ok, but the day was wonderful. I love my new rug!
