About Flea Markets in Clearlake

Clearlake, California has a small but varied flea market scene with 3 known spots, ranging from a long-running outdoor weekend market to an indoor weekday setup and a weekend-only antique shop. The mix covers outdoor haggling culture, indoor browsing, antiques, vintage finds, collectibles, and furniture — so whether you’re a deal-hunter or a casual browser, there’s at least one option worth your time. Hours and days differ quite a bit across the three, so it pays to plan ahead before making the trip.

Clear Lake Flea Market Inc is the anchor of the local scene — one reviewer noted they’d been visiting for over 18 years, and another called it a classic case of ‘another man’s junk could be another man’s treasure.’ It’s outdoor, weekend-only (Friday through Sunday, 9AM–4PM), and tagged for antiques, vintage goods, haggling, and solid value, with parking on site. For something completely different, City Plaza Mall & Flea Market runs Tuesday through Friday under a roof, making it the go-to if weather or weekends don’t work for you. Reviewers highlight new ownership, a friendly staff, and plenty of variety for men, women, and families alike. If you’re specifically after antiques, collectibles, and furniture, Patty’s Attic Memories rounds out the weekend options on Saturdays and Sundays.

A few practical notes for visiting Clearlake’s markets: both Clear Lake Flea Market and City Plaza offer parking, and haggling is expected at the outdoor market, so bring cash and come ready to negotiate. City Plaza is the only fully indoor option, making it the smart pick on a hot or rainy day. Weekend mornings tend to be the best time to catch full vendor selections at the outdoor spots.
