Operates: Every Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, 7 AM to 3 PM

You could lose a whole Saturday in the sprawl of Kobey’s. Since 1976, this San Diego staple’s been part flea market, part cultural free-for-all. One minute you’re flipping through vinyl, the next you’re bartering for a lava lamp and vintage Levi’s. Don’t sleep on special events like Vintage Alley or the Sneaker & Vintage Clothing Swap—they’re goldmines for rare finds and A+ fits. P.S. Booths are super affordable if you’re ready to part ways with your closet.
