Antiques By The Bay

Cool collection and wide variety of antiques. There's a sign that states everything must be 20 years or older, but I definitely saw plenty of items that were new but made to look vintage. Also, the drivers here are absolutely the worst. They really need to hire people to direct traffic.

Very well organized and many many vendors. Plenty of good food on hand as well. Parking and access is fairly easy.

Good place to spend whole day. well organized, friendly sellers

YELP is WRONG saying that we are open every Sunday! The Alameda Point Antique Faire is open once a month on the FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH! If the event is cancelled due to rain then it will be rolled over to the following Sunday if weather permits! Allen Michaan, owner

First Sundays of the month but not year round. My friend told me it's the largest flea market in NorCal. You can purchase tickets online or in person (can be quicker if online). BRING CASH, wear sunscreen, wear a cap or bring an umbrella especially for warmer days. Parking lot is huge. After parking in the back in the order we came in (there was a line), we realized, while walking, there were spots in the front as people leave.

So don't be afraid to look for parking up closer - saves you from walking a bit since you'll be walking a lot. REMEMBER YOUR SPOT! Antiques are at least 20+ years old. There were really cool maps, furniture, jewelry, bowls etc. if you like to decorate your home, you'll find many things here! Be prepared to negotiate but also remember to be respectful of the prices too :)

Today was their first day back and I know they were working through issues, but damn, it was hard to stay positive today. First off, I bought tickets online, thinking it would help move things along for both me and them. I didn't print them, because I thought I'd conserve and that it wouldn't matter anyway, right? Wrong. The line was DEEP (like dozens, maybe hundreds) but only for people who bought their tickets online and didn't print them.

Never mind the surcharge, if you showed up today with no ticket or a printed ticket, you walked right in. The rest of us that paid the dollar surcharge and tried to save paper we're stuck in a very long line. I saw people paying for an extra ticket JUST to get the piece of paper necessary to avoid the online only line. And I get it, first day back, but when something isn't working, figure out how to pivot. And the traffic direction needed a lot of help. There was no reason for three lanes to merge into one, and no reason it should've taken 45 minutes to park.

Hello all Lots of fun, dress for the weather, can get a little chilly. We start off with coffee and a look at the food trucks first. Lay of the land. Just a great selection of items and people! The people watching is a lot of fun too. A little breezy but can be perfect at times. Will take a couple of hours to walk the rows of vendors then double back for the items you really want. Also many lunch options in Alameda. Enjoy the journey Ronnie

We have been coming to this Antique Fair for many years. There is always an eclectic selection of items, food and people. The farther back you go the more yardsaleish it gets. They have different prices for the different times of entry ranging from 20.00 to 5.00. They have atm's up front which is convenient and you can rent carts. Ample handicapped parking up front and a loading area and the Parking is free.

I was a bit disappointed in that today there was an noticeable increase in clothing booths. My one suggestion is make sure you take toilet paper if you go late. Seems they don't keep the porta potties supplied or reasonably clean. I get it's a hassle but essential especially due to COVID They have COVID policy in place and most booths have signs saying no mask no service.

Most booths also have hand sanitizer as well. Great Kettle Corn booth and mascot. Pleasant people, great deals, excellent selection and a great view of SF what's not to like. My tip if you go check the weather prior as it gets super hot and there is really no shade. Especially if you go late and are sun sensitive take an umbrella, sunscreen and water.

Also The ground gets sizzling hot and your fur babies have fur coats on. Way too hot for them unless you have a buggy, canopy, water and a portable fan then maybe. also Their web site says No Pets

This amazing event is truly a treasure hunting experience! Whatever you are into, you'll find it here, among thousands of antiques and collectibles, odd and ends, from the ridiculous to the sublime.and right on the Bay! Food trucks, too!

Used to visit this place on Sundays. Parking is very easy. I've bought some really interesting things here for myself and for family. Usually I get things at a pretty good price and I definitely bargain when I can - why not? I like to come sometimes to just browse and help friends find stuff. I tend to start in the back and work my way towards the front. Tip: coming later in the day will give you better bargains since the vendors often prefer not to take everything back home!

It was my 1st time and i love it. We stayed tgere for 5 hours.from 630am. Its nice to be early so its not crowded. So many antiques, vintage, cheap clothes and bags but they also have overpriced used tshirts. I bought a sports jacket for 35 dollars for my husband. I love the arts they are selling. I would definitely go back. BRIng cash!

Lots of vintage items at decent prices. Some will reduce their items to one dollar near the end of the day. I assume they get their merch out of storage lockers and they rather unload them than pay for a storage locker. The fair itself wasn't too terribly over price being $10 before 12 and more than that for early bird. I don't think early birds of great advantage because you will still have to pay high prices.

These dealers are pickers themselves not the average inexperienced garage saler. Get there early because there is a lot of ground to cover and most vendors will close an hour early. Food pretty cheap compared to other places. My food recommendation is the giant hotdog for $8.

Truly a paradise for art lovers, collectors, and those who are looking to update their home, etc. Set against the beautiful San Francisco skyline, a hidden gem, indeed! I'd recommend getting here early and make the most of it. Variety crockery, home decor, woodwork, etc. And options to grab a quick bite on the food trucks.

What a great place to spend a Sunday! There are good finds to be had, but the best items go early, so keep that in mind and spend a little extra to come when they open if you don't want to miss out on your perfect gadget, item or doodad. There are way more vintage clothing stalls than there were previously, which is great if that's what you want.

But it's painful to see my old clothes at an Antiques Faire! There seem to be a lot of random items that don't really belong, but it makes this interesting. The food vendors are good and I appreciate the hand washing stations. Walking from the back of the parking lot can be a trek. Wear your comfiest walking shoes and layers to contend with fog, wind and sun.

Alameda fair is open again and wow! it is amazing! I love flea markets and fairs and this one is definitely one of the top. First of all, it is HUGE! There are so many rows of vendors. Second, the items that they have are so cool! I can't say if the good stuff sell out quickly since I went around 12 PM. But even at that time, there were so many things to choose from. I will say, if you go later in the day, the food may sell out (we were one of the last ones to get a banh mi since they ran out of mayo).

Went to the fair 6/21. always a lot of fun and lots to see. the event is huge and many don't make it thru the whole venue. the variety of food to be had is great. if you're looking for deals on items, you'll probably have to look hard and arrive early. I wouldn't say this is the place to find hidden treasures, but rather find anything you're looking for and be able to get it.

If one were doing interior decoration and wanted to find just the right thing most likely they'll find many things that would be perfect at a fair price. Many of the sellers are professional so things are going to be priced at or near true market value. It's not a garage sale there's a lot of quality stuff, and it's a great way to spend a Sunday

Truly exceptional. Great finds with really cool people that clearly enjoy curating one of a kind antiques for us. I found 118 things I'd want to get in just one visit. Holy cow! We'll be returning often.

They're back! Sunday May 2nd after being closed for COVID! This is a great place to find new treasures or just wander around looking at the curiosities others have saved over the years. I have bought so many great items here: jewelry, mid-century chairs, "fridgies" kitchenware, vintage prescription eyewear (bring your prescription and they mail it to you!), handmade clothing, vintage clothing, and can't forget the delicious popsicles (try the ones with coconut milk, I think they're called "Thai Nights") and other great snacks available from food trucks.

The Antique Faire. Where to begin? The line starts near the Safeway close to the College. You drive up onto a dirt road and find a park (get the first one that you see). $5 entry after 9 AM I believe. After that, you literally have hundreds of vendors for you to choose from. If you have a hobby, this place is your go-to. I have begun to collect classic Archie Comics and the 90's run of X-Men.

They not only have these comics, but they're also at a reasonable price. There are also food trucks (get a bratwurst) and booths to purchase plants etc. Pro tip: wear sun screen!

I love this place. The first Sunday of every month tons of vendors come out. You can almost find anything here: kitchenware, furniture, clothes, tools, etc. The prices are not bad. You can get some decent deals. People bargain so be prepared. I would say prices are less than high end, curated vintage stores, but more than a real thrift store. I love to come just to browse through all the interesting stuff.

I usually start at the back and work my way forward. It can take a few hours to go through everything because there are a ton of vendors. Most people probably don't make it through the whole market. I like to come towards the end of the day because you can get good deals on things vendors don't want to take home. There are a good number of food vendors.

Beer is available. There are plant vendors selling orchids and succulents at good prices. Beautiful views of the bay. If you come later, there are parking spaces near the front from the early risers leaving.

You can find me here on the first Sunday of the month with my big sun hat and pulling a wagon for my market finds. I really enjoy this market and can spend several hours scanning the aisles and perusing the items vendors brought out that day. It can be a hit and a miss, so if you don't find anything one day you might strike gold on another day.

I am not someone that goes antiquing, so I am not knowledgeable when it comes to hunting for things that are valuable. Instead, I go hunting for things that I like or fall in love with that I find unique. I like to bring in my own coffee, but if you get hungry, have a craving, or need some coffee they have food vendors that line both sides of the market.

I would suggest bringing a wagon or cart if you plan on doing some shopping. They do rent shopping carts, but the floor of the market it really rough and bumpy and the grocery carts don't do so well on it. The entry price is tiered depending on what time you arrive. I like to arrive between 9:00 am - 9:30 am and the entry fee is $5. It starts to get really crowded after that. There is plenty of parking, but be prepared to walk if you can't snag a space closer to the entrance. Happy hunting!

Very, very busy. There's tons of parking, but the access to this area driving is insane - probably worse now that they're redone the bike lanes. This place has - well, not everything - but a lot of stuff. As always, there may or may not be bargains here. Lots of people selling stuff at retail prices, as they well might, but sometimes overlooked things can be had for a steal. Just don't get lectured by someone about the price - there's a few angry vendors here. But definitely worth an occasional visit.

Full of weird, always awesome finds the Alameda Point Antiques faire is a real treat for anyone who loves vintage, reclaimed and all things tchotchke. My husband and I have been a few times now and marvel at the size every time we go (seriously how is it SO large?!). We try to be systematic about how we attack the aisles but we often (how could you not) get distracted by something interesting.

On our first visit we even decided to buy a book case but wanted to come back for it later. after what felt like an hours long search for the book case vendor we left empty handed. Snag that ish in the moment ya'll, learn from our mistakes. other Antique Faire Pro Tips: byow (bring your own wagon), lots of cash and wear sunblock and a hat since it gets pretty spicy out there before you know it.

One of the two best flea markets on the West Coast, Alameda is where you will find me on the first Sunday of each month. During the mild weather months there are 1000-1200 dealers who all sell true older vintage and antique clothing, home decor, art, furniture, jewelry and anything else that they dig up from estate sales and antique shops. Even in the winter months there are enough dealers that it can take 3 hours to walk the show. And, in the last few years there have been more high quality food trucks to keep you well fed. Due to the popularity, it draws dealers from all over the West. There is something for everyone.

I'd read that the Alameda Point Antiques Fair was huge and would take several hours to get through but I really hadn't expected to stay 6 hours! I'm not a collector but I love the nostalgia of vintage things and have always wanted to check out this outdoor flea market. My daughter and I decided to finally see what the Antiques Faire had to offer while the September weather was still mild.

We arrived early enough at 8:30 am to peruse through the market before the better items were snatched up. I have no idea how many vendors were there last Sunday but, even after 6 hours of walking briskly through most of the rows, we could not get through the entire market and skipped some vendors here and there. I was impressed at the variety of things that were for sale. Mid-century furniture and appliances, posters, lamps, rugs, collectible toys, clothing, glassware, ceramics, jewelry, postcards, and so forth. Thankfully, with the weather in the 70s for most of the time we were there, it was a blast going through memory lane and seeing items from my childhood that my daughter had never seen in her life! Lol.

A pleasant surprise about the market was the multitude of food trucks to choose from (Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, American, Korean, coffee, gelato, popsicles, popcorn, crepes) and plenty of sitting areas. Plus, there were lots of portable toilets and wash stations, too. We ended up buying a few things including a vintage cherry wood bookshelf and had no trouble negotiating the prices down.

I was exhausted by the end of the day and happy that we finally got to experience the flea market. I'd definitely come back again but it's not something I'd do more than once a year.

I love antiques and this is an amazing place to shop at hundreds of different vendors, if you can't find what you are looking for here, I don't know where else you would go.
