July at the Rose Bowl Flea Market — the summer heat brings the early birds out before 7am and rewards the hunters who get there before the crowds fill in. 2,500 vendors across the Rose Bowl grounds: vintage fashion, records, ceramics, film photography gear, and the mid-century furniture that fits perfectly into apartments that don't technically have room for it. The second Sunday of July in Pasadena is the most reliable sourcing run in SoCal.
