What it was like
The Pickwick Vintage Show at ROW DTLA is one of Los Angeles's most beloved monthly outdoor vintage markets, held at the sprawling 32-acre ROW DTLA complex in the Arts District. More than 40 local vendors set up across the courtyard, selling vintage clothing, accessories, jewelry, and curated lifestyle pieces spanning decades of fashion history.
ROW DTLA's industrial warehouse setting gives the market a distinctive atmosphere — sunlight through open-air corridors, acclaimed restaurants and coffee shops nearby, and a constant stream of shoppers who range from professional stylists to first-time vintage buyers. It is the kind of place where you find a perfect 1970s denim jacket beside a 1990s Japanese streetwear piece.
Parking is free for the first two hours at the ROW DTLA garage. The market runs from 10am to 4pm. Best strategy: arrive at opening if you are hunting specific items; arrive midday if you want the full market experience without the rush. Free admission. Monthly recurring market — this is the May edition. Located in the same complex as Smorgasburg LA.
