The Berkeley Flea Market has been a cornerstone of community and culture for nearly five decades, offering a vibrant space where artists, activists, and entrepreneurs come together. Located at 1937 Ashby Avenue, adjacent to the Ashby BART Station, the market operates every Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM, weather permitting.
This historic market began in the 1970s as an unofficial gathering aimed at fostering community and providing opportunities for marginalized individuals to engage in business within a supportive environment. Over the years, it has evolved into a bustling marketplace featuring a diverse array of vendors offering handmade crafts, vintage goods, international cuisine, and live performances.
