🗓️ Second Sunday at the Bowl
🧭 Pick Your Area First
The Rose Bowl Flea Market takes over the grounds around the stadium in Pasadena on the second Sunday of every month, and the November edition lands on Sunday, November 8. The organizer counts over 2,500 vendors and about 20,000 buyers each month, and sellers are grouped by what they carry. Head to the Orange area for antiques and collectibles, the Pearl and White areas for vintage clothing and textiles, and the Stadium Blue and Gold area for new merchandise, arts and crafts.
🔦 Early Bird or General
Two tickets split the day. Early Bird entry runs from 5 AM to 8:45 AM, and the organizer lists it at $23.21 with fees included. It also warns that lighting is limited at 5 AM and vendor vehicles are still moving in, so some stalls may not be set up yet. General admission covers 9 AM to 3 PM at $15.83 with fees, and children under 12 get in free with an adult. Eventbrite lists no onsite ticket sales for the November 8 market, so buy ahead and check in at Gate A with the QR code ready. Everyone must enter by 3 PM, and the market runs until 4:30 PM, though vendors may begin packing up after 3 PM.
🚗 Parking, Cash and Rules
Free parking surrounds the stadium with a short walk to the entrance, and preferred parking closer in costs $20, paid by card or cash. Rideshare drop off and pick up happen at Gate C, a different gate from the Gate A ticket check in. Only service animals are allowed, so pets stay home. The market runs rain or shine, and tickets are not refundable. Payment is up to each seller and some may take cash only, so the ATMs near the main pass gate at the front entrance are worth knowing. Handicap parking and restrooms are available, though there are no wheelchair or stroller rentals, and food stands sell burgers, tacos and coffee in the $5.50 to $9 range.
