Palm Springs Vintage Market Returns: Discover Midcentury Modern Treasures and Vintage Finds
Whether you're hunting for midcentury modern décor, retro accessories, or unique antiques, Greater Palm Springs is the ultimate shopping destination this season—especially with the highly anticipated return of the monthly Palm Springs Vintage Market.
Discover the Palm Springs Vintage Market
This boutique flea market takes place on the first Sunday of every month from October through May, running from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Open to the public, the event kicks off its season on Sunday, October 3, 2021, in the Camelot Theaters parking lot in downtown Palm Springs. Well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome.
Explore vintage fashions, jewelry, décor, furniture, housewares, records, art, and collectibles from curated vendors. Enjoy food and drinks at the theater's International Café & Bar.
“It's a fun Sunday morning activity,” says market co-owner and organizer Mindy King. “People meet friends, walk dogs, and savor mimosas and breakfast at the café.”
For just a few dollars, enjoy nostalgia and entertainment.
Admission is $5 per person; sign up for the email list online for discounted entry. Visit the market's website to subscribe.
Vintage Finds from Every Era
Specializing in midcentury modern design, the market also features antiques from nearly every era.
“We offer everything from early 1800s antiques to 1980s hipster items,” King explains. “It's like a stroll down memory lane.”
With space for 100 vendors (typically 75-80), all items are vetted for authenticity—75% must be vintage (20+ years old). Select artisans sell repurposed goods.
Why Visit the Palm Springs Vintage Market
Palm Springs' relaxed retro vibe and Desert Modernism heritage make it ideal for vintage hunting. Visitors from afar, including designers, seek authentic pieces for home styling.
“Midcentury modern flies off the shelves,” notes King. “You never know what treasures await.”
King loves seeing shoppers leave with one-of-a-kind discoveries: “It's thrilling to own something unique no one else has.”
