All about the Palm Springs Vintage Market

Our Story
Way back in 2013, the Palm Springs Open Air Market was born at the Spa Resort Casino. A year later it morphed into the Vintage Flea and the rest is history.

Mid season 2015/2016, the market moved to our current location at the Camelot Theater. With Palm Springs being the land of all things Mid Century Modern, the focus to fill the beautifully restored masterpiece homes with authentic vintage merchandise became our new focus.

Taking place the first Sunday of the month, October through May, the market has become a haven for lovers of all things retro and vintage. Locals and visitors alike look forward to this monthly event and have become diehards!

We’ve always had a soft spot for garage sales and thrift stores, and so we wanted to bring that enjoyment to this larger scale event. A real community feel pervades the market and the vendors and shoppers have become real friends and family. Our dealers are all friendly and knowledgeable, and the quality of goods is high as we work hard to maintain these standards.

People tell us there is almost too much to see at the Palm Springs Vintage Market. Retro and vintage items are everywhere, and having a walk through allows for a simultaneous stroll down memory lane.

Antiques representing many eras are dotted around, as are upcycled/reclaimed items. The market is a wonderful place for the whole family to visit, and those searching for inspiration for home decor won’t leave disappointed.

So come along, and “capture vintage with a view” with us…
