About the Fair
Operating since 1982, the Long Beach Antique & Collectible Fair (sometimes referenced as the Long Beach Outdoor Antique & Collectible Market) hosts approximately 800 vendors across the Veterans Stadium parking lot. The fair is a destination for vintage furniture, mid-century modern decor, vintage clothing, vinyl records, costume jewelry, advertising memorabilia, and a steady supply of trading cards, comics, and toys.
What to Expect
Early-bird admission opens before sunrise for serious dealers and collectors who want first pick of fresh inventory. General admission opens at 6:30 AM and the fair runs until early afternoon. Cash is king, though many vendors now accept Venmo and Zelle.
Pro Tips
- Bring a cart or wagon — large finds are common and parking-lot logistics matter.
- Sun protection and water are essential; the fair is fully outdoors with limited shade.
- Negotiation is expected — start at 50–60% of asking price for items over $50.
Always verify the next fair date and admission prices via the official market website before traveling.
