The Great Pasadena Treasure Quest

 

Prepare yourself for a day of delightful discoveries at Pasadena’s world-famous Rose Bowl Flea Market—a place where curiosity runs wild and every turn holds a new surprise. Imagine a sprawling bazaar, stretching for miles, with more than 2,500 vendors tempting you with glittering antiques, whimsical vintage fashions, curious collectibles, handcrafted wonders, and oddities you’ll be telling stories about for years. This legendary once-a-month spectacle is one of the largest and most celebrated flea markets in the United States—part shopping adventure, part treasure hunt, and all-day fun.

 

Perhaps you’ll start the morning as a fearless “power hunter,” scanning the rows for that elusive perfect find… or maybe you’ll stroll at an easy pace, savoring the sights, the music, the aromas of sizzling street food, and the infectious buzz of the crowd. And should your treasure bags fill to the brim early, you can join us for an optional side trip to lively Old Pasadena—home to restored 19th-century buildings, eclectic boutiques, and a bustling café scene.

 

With ample room in our coach for your newfound bounty, you’re free to collect to your heart’s content. Lunch is yours to enjoy wherever the day’s wanderings take you—whether it’s a mouthwatering bite from the market’s food stalls or a cozy café in Old Pasadena. This is more than a shopping trip—it’s a day of stories waiting to be written.
