DesignerCon 2026 — Pasadena
Jun 20 – Jun 21, 2026 Paid - $25-$45 Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E …

Somewhere in your house is an object nobody else in your family understands the price of. A resin figure. A vinyl piece in a colorway that existed for one weekend. You have explained it before and you stopped bothering. This is the room where you do not have to explain it. Three hundred-plus exhibitors, all independent artists selling one-of-a-kind resin figures, limited-run vinyl, art prints, custom sneakers, and objects sitting somewhere between sculpture and collectible. No mass-market toy companies. The culture is small-batch and artist-direct and expensive for reasons everyone here can articulate. Exclusive colorways of formats you already collect. Signature pieces from artists you follow. And the secondary-market buyers hunting grails, who you recognize instantly because they move differently. Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E Green St. Lines form early for exclusive drops and day-one badges sell out. This is the same crowd that camps for drops. Plan accordingly.

Rose Bowl Flea Market — Pasadena
Every 2nd Sunday · Next Oct 11 From $15 Rose Bowl Stadium, 1001 Rose Bowl …

Nobody leaves with the thing they came for. You go looking for a lamp and come home with deadstock denim, a stack of vinyl, and an object that has no category but is clearly yours. That is what twenty-five hundred vendors on a stadium lot do to a person. Stylists, collectors and vintage hunters have been circling the second Sunday of the month since 1967, and the mix reads like everything Los Angeles has ever absorbed — Japanese streetwear beside 1970s Americana, mid-century furniture next to handmade jewelry, band tees, housewares, art prints. The quality ceiling runs higher than most dedicated vintage markets, because at that vendor count the best of it rises to the top. Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, second Sunday of every month, general admission from 9am and early birds in at 7:30 for first pass. Go with the person who will hold your spot while you double back for the thing you talked yourself out of.

Jackalope Art Fair 2026 — Old Pasadena
Nov 14, 2026 275 S Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91…

You turn a ceramic mug over and find a thumbprint fired into the bottom, where somebody held it before the kiln — and it occurs to you that you have spent your whole adult life buying objects with no history in them. Two hundred artisans, every one of them juried in: potters, jewelers, printmakers, woodworkers, textile artists, all selling work they made with their hands at prices a normal person can actually pay. This is not the craft market where every booth sells the same wholesale candle. Admission is free on purpose, because the model is artists selling directly to you rather than a ticketed experience selling access to artists. Live music. Food trucks. And the specific quality of light Pasadena gets on a September afternoon. Central Park on South Raymond Ave in Old Pasadena, free to walk in. Go with the friend who keeps saying they will start making pottery. They will leave with supplies. You will leave with something somebody else already finished.

Anime Expo 2027 — Los Angeles Convention Center
Jul 1 – Jul 4, 2027 Los Angeles Convention Center, 120…

You will be tired in a way that feels earned. Four days, a hundred thousand people, and not one of them needs you to explain what you are talking about. The largest anime convention in North America takes the Los Angeles Convention Center over Fourth of July weekend and spills into the JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton beside it. Industry panels, screening rooms, autograph sessions with voice actors and composers, concerts that sell out weeks ahead. Studios from Japan use this as their main North American announcement stage — if a sequel or adaptation is being revealed, it often happens in a room you could be standing in. The exhibit hall carries imported merchandise and collaboration exclusives that surface nowhere else on the continent. Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St. Thursday through Sunday. Badges run from top-tier early-access down to single-day passes. Book the connected hotel corridor months out. Everyone who tells you that learned it the hard way.

Oceanside Sunset Market -- Summer 2026 Thursdays
Every Thursday · Next Oct 8 Free Coast Hwy & Pier View Way, Oceansi…

The Pacific is a block away. Every Thursday evening from 5 to 9 PM, the corner of Coast Highway and Pier View Way becomes the Oceanside Sunset Market — vendors, food, live music, and the light that only happens when you're that close to the water at that hour. The beach-town market that runs when the day is actually good. Local makers, artisans, food vendors, and the crowd that comes out because the evening earned it. The vendor mix is Oceanside-specific: local crafts, art, jewelry, produce, and the food vendors that the beach corridor supports. The live music stage runs throughout the evening. The Oceanside Pier is visible from the market — the setting does work the vendors don't have to. Free to attend. Parking available near the Pier. Every Thursday, May through September, 5-9 PM. Oceanside, California. The market runs through marine layer some evenings. The cooler Pacific air is part of the draw, not a reason to stay home.

Pacific Beach Night Market
Monthly · Next Nov 4 Free Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific …

A hundred and fifty steps from the ocean, a corner of Pacific Beach turns into a block party that nobody had to organize you into. Fire pits going. Nine to twelve food vendors rotating week to week, so the thing you loved last time might be gone and the thing replacing it might be better. Live music that is genuinely local — acoustic sets, small bands, the occasional DJ. Games. A crowd of PB locals and students and people who simply wandered up from the beach still holding a towel. Past vendors have run birria tacos, banh mi, craft lemonade, Hawaiian shave ice, artisan pastries, small-batch hot sauces. A few craft sellers usually set up alongside. This is a neighborhood gathering, not a ticketed event. Free. No RSVP. You walk up. Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific Beach. 5 to 9:30 PM. Bring a layer — it cools off fast after sunset, even in August.

Taste of Soul LA 2026
In 10 days · Oct 17 Free Crenshaw Blvd (Martin Luther King …

The smell reaches you before the stages do - barbecue and catfish and soul food covering a mile-plus of Crenshaw Boulevard, because every major Black-owned restaurant in South LA has a booth out here and the food is the center of the whole thing. For one Saturday in October, this stretch between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Leimert Park Village becomes one of the largest street festivals in Los Angeles. More than 300,000 people move through in a single day. The format is street vendors, restaurant booths, live music stages, a car show, health screenings, and community organization presence - but it is the food and the crowd that make it. Founded by the Los Angeles Sentinel, the oldest Black-owned newspaper in California, it has run for over two decades and stayed a genuine community institution: multigenerational, neighborhood-rooted, and enormous. This is Leimert Park and Crenshaw at their fullest. Free to attend. Crenshaw closes to traffic for the day. The Metro K Line stops at Leimert Park Village and is the easiest way in and out. Arrive early if you want to move - by noon the crowds are deep.
