Things to do in Los Angeles, California (CA): The Best Flea & Street Markets

July 25, 2021 Flossie Demartino

Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

The LA flower market is a joy to walk around. There is easy parking and Poppy and Rose is a wonderful organic restaurant for breakfast or lunch right opposite. The vendors are friendly and helpful and if you need flowers for an event you can check out my daughter, Tayah Howard at @orignelsewhere she does events and runs floral workshops for group of friends.

Olvera Street

The oldest street in Los Angeles is fun to visit, especially during special events like the "Blessing of the Animals" or "Dia De Los Muertos" (Day of the Dead.)

Silverlake Flea

he Silverlake Flea Market (held Every Saturday from 9am-4pm) is located in the lot right behind LA’s favorite landmark Taix right on Sunset Blvd right at the border of Silverlake and Echo Park, CA 90026. The Free Entrance is located at 2007 Reservoir LA CA 90026. Some of LA's best independent vendors of Handmade, Vintage, Home Furnishings, Home Decor, Crafts, Art, Antiques and Collectibles are on site selling their merchandise Every Saturday from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Free Entrance & lots of street parking. Voted locally as some of the best shopping in Los Angeles and conveniently located dead center of Silverlake and Echo Park. The Silverlake Flea has been compared to the infamous Melrose Trading Post (but we say on a cuter, smaller scale that's not as overwhelming to browse and shop.) The Silverlake Flea is now located in the lot behind TAIX located at 2007 Reservoir St. LA CA 90026

It's a nice little market that is perfect to wander around on a Saturday. I have both shopped and vended at Silverlake and LOVE it! In both situations I have loved the people there, they are chatty and super friendly. It's also great for bargains it's hard not to shop even when if vending :) Highly recommendation, being a vendor, shopping and just having a wander around.

The Santee Alley

Reviewed By JulieBandSteveB - Ham Lake, United States

First off get there early it gets crazy. If you do t like crowds definitely go during the week. Open from 9am to 5pm they have tons of stuff. We bought my daughter's prom dress and would never buy one from another place. They have food vendors(hotdogs wrapped in bacon...yummm) churro's, corn and tacos all the food we had was great. Screen protector for my son's iPhone 10 bucks installed. They have clothes, makeup, jewelry, shoes. Parking is more on the weekends (7 -15.00) 3.00 and up on the week days. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day. Just know it's busy....you CAN barter...and some places charge 1.00 the use the restroom(they are cleaner and worth it)
