New Generation of Buyers Find Perusing for Décor and Clothing a Great Sunday's Entertainment Boasting more than 2,500 vendors and a customer base that includes a roster of Hollywood stars, the Rose Bowl Flea Market has continued to attract serious collectors, bargain hunters and novice shoppers to one of the world's greatest outdoor marketplaces for the past 40 years. Guaranteed to have something for everyone, vendors come stocked every second Sunday of the Month with vintage items, home furnishings, hand-made crafts and collectable pieces. Thousands flock to the West's best treasure hunt to peruse the wares and negotiate prices, come rain or shine. Name the item and the Rose Bowl Flea Market is bound to have it. Whether it be vintage costume jewelry, antique furniture or a circa 1960's G.I. Joe collectible lunchbox, the Rose Bowl Flea Market is the place to search for it, find it and bargain for it. Head and- shoulders above the ordinary local swap-meets and garage sales, many vendors are specialists in their area of expertise and the quality of merchandise sold at the Flea Market reflects that. True to flea market fashion, Rose Bowl vendors begin setup before sunrise and ready themselves for the early bird buyers looking for the perfect items. Patrons include international buyers shopping for their own stores, as well as local customers and celebrities seeking personal treasures. A one-stop venue for many bargain hunters, shoppers who feel they received a good deal on any item purchased can have it appraised at the Rose Bowl Flea Market before heading out to showcase their find. Increasingly, today's Rose Bowl Flea Market buyer is younger and more cool than in recent years. A new generation has re-discovered the event as a way to furnish a new apartment or do a makeover, find something musical or amazing to amuse friends, culled unique clothing for their closets.and done it all at an affordable price. Just as diverse as the buyers are the vendors who have come from different walks of life, as well. Some are regular denizens of the outdoor-market circuit, yet others with customary weekday jobs like to showcase their hobby or passion and sell their merchandise one Sunday a month. Some sellers own brick-and-mortar retail stores and make a monthly Pasadena trek to introduce their product to a completely new audience, thereby building their clientele. Additionally, the overhead difference between renting retail space and the Flea Market is so great it often means that the savings are passed onto shoppers who may secure bargains normally not received in stores. To make it easier for a variety of customers to do as much browsing and purchasing as possible, sellers are often grouped into sections creating more than seven miles of shopable booths. Areas that continue to expand every year include: antiques, vintage clothing, arts and crafts, as well as new-and-unusual products. It's often said that you can't experience the Rose Bowl Flea Market in one Sunday, since new and original merchandise is brought in continuously every month. Every year, new vendors become part of our Flea Market family. Thousands come to see what's new, what's old and what's different. You're guaranteed to find something you didn't see the first time, and sometimes you just might find yourself browsing next to Hollywood royalty!.
