Best Flea Markets In The North Bay
Walk through these flea markets in North Bay and be prepared to walk away with a little more than an armful for a lot less than it would normally cost. From small town Sebastopol to downtown Santa Rosa, antiques, music and small decor will have you going crazy for more, and let's not forget the local food on offer. Food trucks, small stalls offering organic coffee, fresh produce vendors and some of the best Mexican food around round out the flea market experience.

Midgley's Country Flea Market
2200 Gravenstein Highway S
Sebastopol, CA 95742
(707) 823-7874

This is a fantastic flea market with unique antiques, rare tidbits, decor, clothes, accessories, toys, fruit trees and so much more. It is one of the best flea markets in the North Bay if you are looking for quality versus quantity, not to say there is not much on offer, because there is and each piece is as good as the next. Come enjoy freshly cooked food from vendors on site and take advantage of the free admission and parking. There is a friendly-family atmosphere at this weekend flea market, and it comes as no surprise that after being around for 40 years, the organizers are well trained at giving customers the bargains and treasures they want.

Napa-Vallejo Flea Market
303 South Kelly Road
American Canyon, CA 94503
(707) 226-8862
www.napafleamarket.comThis is a flea market where you will find business vendors and families selling "yard" sale pieces like antiques, toys, home furnishings, clothes and musical instruments. Here you will find a community vibe and a type of place where vendors and organizers want customers to come back so they offer quality service as well as a well-stocked market. Think old-fashioned flea market versus modern-looking boho chic stalls where fresh produce sits next to home treasures and families work together to sell their old junk to become your next jewel. One word of advice when you come here, only bring the amount of cash you want to spend as with up to 600 stalls, you will find yourself with empty pockets and a full trunk more quickly than you thought.

Mojosales Flea Market
Veterans Hall
1351 Maple Ave.
Santa Rosa, CA 95404
(707) 565-7176This is a smaller flea market than the rest, but if you are looking to browse some interesting collectibles or taste some great local food, then MoJo's flea market is the place to visit. Food vendors include El Grullense Mexican, Awful Falafel, as well as other yummy treats on offer. Find deals on furniture, small home decor, retro collectibles and fashion accessories. Be prepared to walk away with more than an armful of treasures. The one downside to this flea market venue is that when a 30 percent or higher chance of rain is shown, the market will get cancelled, so make sure to check the weather before heading out.
