Located on Berryessa Road, The San Jose Flea Market first opened in 1960 with just 20 sellers. Today, the market boasts between 1,000 and 2,000 vendors who sell their goods on weekends.
George Bumb Sr. founded the market in order to sell usable items he saw being thrown away when he was working in the landfill business.
He built individual merchant stalls, installments that helped the vendors by offering them storage space for their goods.
There are more than a dozen restaurants and snack bars on the 120-acre property, and over four million visitors explore the market each year. The flea market is open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you are wondering what to do in San Jose on a sunny morning, visit this unique market.
