If you are into unique flea markets you will love Los Feliz Flea at Vintage Land, which isn’t actually in Los Feliz. It is a weekly Saturday event – rain or shine – outside of downtown Los Angeles near Chinatown with an excellent view of the downtown skyline.
The venue is a multi-level parking garage. I attended its 3-day holiday event on the bottom floor of the garage. The vintage market takes place on the rooftop and the antique market on the ground floor.
The event is free to attend with complimentary parking.

I’ve been to several flea markets in Los Angeles, but I was impressed with the quality of the goods sold and the creativity of its items. It is not your run-of-the-mill thrift shop fare although there were plenty of vintage items and clothing.
One vendor with Second Chance Eyewear was selling high-end designer sunglasses from various decades all re-lensed in mint condition. Brands included Lacoste, Dior, RayBan, Persol, Berkos, and other top designers as old as the 1930s.
Another vendor had lamps with shades made from old slides, magnets, puzzle pieces, and other objects. One lampshade was decorated with slides from the 1968 moon landing with the outline of an old TV set.
Even the vintage clothing had an edge and personality that was hard to resist. If you are looking for gifts or items out of the ordinary, you will find it at Los Feliz Flea at Vintage Land.
I was told the market organizer has plans to improve the venue with a skateboard park called Grind House and an upcoming event called Ink & Grind with tattoo artists, skate culture, and street art. Angel City Pickleball and VR Escape Room are already on the premises.
The event is pet-friendly.
Los Feliz Flea is across the street from the iconic Eastside Italian Market has been operating since 1929 and is an amazing place to get a HUGE and delicious Italian sandwich.
