Cloverdale Flea Market

The Cloverdale Flea Market is a massive yard-sale-style market at the Cloverdale Rodeo Fairgrounds on Sundays from 6 am until 3 pm in Surrey.

Most of what you’ll find there is second-hand, although there are also lots of new things, including products you’d find at a farmers market like fresh produce, flowers and crafts.

Cloverdale’s Free Sunday Flea Market

Located at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds at 176th Street and 62nd Avenue in Surrey, the Cloverdale Flea Market has been a favourite shopping destination for bargain hunters for 40 years.

The market takes place on Sundays from the crack of dawn until 3 o’clock. It features a couple of hundred vendors and attracts thousands of shoppers.

Parts of the market are indoors and parts are outdoors. Up to 200 tables are set up in a couple of different buildings and another 100 or so spots are outside in the parking lot.

Items for sale include everything from second-hand sporting goods to electronics, art, jewellery, clothes, tools, vegetables, plants and everything imaginable.

Admission to the Flea Market

Admission to the Cloverdale Flea Market costs $1.50 for shoppers ages 13 and older. Children younger than that are free.

To participate in the market as a vendor, as of early 2019, the cost is around $26 per day for an indoor table or $28 for an outdoor space.

Tips and Advice

Below are some tips and suggestions to help you make the most out of your flea market shopping experience.

TIP #1: If you like yard sales and shopping for second-hand items, you’ll probably love this place.

TIP #2: If you go when it opens at 6 am you’ll avoid the crowds (and probably have the best chance of finding parking close by). Get there that early though and you’ll find vendors are still setting up and many of them yet to arrive. It’s not until 8 am that all vendors are supposed to have everything all set up.

TIP #3: The Lower Mainland’s other big year-round flea market is the indoor one at 703 Terminal Avenue in Vancouver (not far from Science World). It’s open on both Saturdays and Sundays, plus some holiday Mondays. Click Vancouver Flea Market for details.
