After a satisfying exploration of the Stockton Open Air Mall, it's time to make your way to the south side of the city where the Stockton Flea Market awaits.
The Stockton Flea Market is the oldest family owned market in the area. This market has more than 300 vendors, and the valley’s largest produce section where you can buy fresh produce, nuts, and more. This market opens at 8:30 a.m. and also goes all day, rain or shine.
One of the best things about these flea markets is all the good food.
Both the Stockton Open Air Mall & Flea Market and the Stockton Flea Market offer an array of cuisines– from Mexican to Chinese to Central American cuisine, and more. We love to buy fresh produce, as well as agua frescas to sip while we shop.
But it's not just about the products, it’s also about the experience. These flea markets cultivate a sense of camaraderie among patrons and sellers alike.
Meeting sellers, bargaining when appropriate, and forming connections are integral parts of the experience. The markets help foster community and provide a space for locals to spend a day walking, shopping, eating, and socializing.
So, whether you're on the hunt for vintage serveware, handmade jewelry, or simply a day of exploration, Stockton's flea markets promise a fun and lively experience.
It’s important to note that some vendors only take cash, some come prepared with spending money.
