The Galt Flea Market

this place is so cool. ive been going since I was a kid and it never gets old for me. they have a great selection of produce as well. its worth stopping by on tuesdays and wednesdays

Too much big business takes all the fun out of it. Too many forms. Too much government control. Too commercial. Too many too’s. I come here for the fruit, vegetables, and people, other than that I’ll just stick to garage and yard sales. Just pay for a stall and sell your trash and treasures, that’s the way it should be run, but retail has taken over.

Has a large variety of things. Have been going for 25 years. have been looking for one certain thing or 15 years and I haven’t had time to go. i get a day off on Wednesday and guess what I found it…

Today was my first time at the galt flea market. It’s been around for ages it seems ! I wasn’t here to find gifts, knick knacks, or clothes. I was here for one sole purpose: fruit and veggies ! I’m trying to do a cleanse. See how I said «trying? «I made sure to mention that specific word because I have commitment issues with cleanses and veggies. In fact, I’m writing this review while I’m on my way to get dim sum .
Not all vendors sell organic produce, so be sure to ask if organic is your thing. I was able to get organic cucumbers today, that’s it. The rest, well. I decided for the price I’m paying, it can’t be that bad. Although Wednesday’s are the all produce days, you can find good produce on Tuesdays as well.
I definitely recommend this place as they carry different things that cater to every crowd !

Parking was kind tight, but atleast it’s free along with free admission. BEST CHURROS ARE SOLD HERE, GO GET SOME!

Best Chinese food around! All the different food vendors are seriously the best part of this place! Always a great time at the Galt flea market.

Funny I only come here for Chinese food! It’s good to see multi booths of new eateries: phở, Hispanic drinks, etc. from the last time I was here in the early 2000s. However, I only come here for the Chinese combo of chicken, chow mien and fried rice. My momma warned me not to go on TuEsDaY bc not many produce vendors are out– I should’ve listened! We haven’t been there for years and she still remembered. As a result– I didn’t come home w any fresh herbs or veggies. If you expect to find those, come on a WeDnEsDaY! They should be a lot cheaper. Even on a Tuesday, I got great deals on 3 melons for 5 $; 2 pineapples for 5 $; and a case of 12 baskets of strawberries for 15 $ when he was asking for 20 $.
Parking lot– if you see a parking available on the street– take it! No guarantee on finding a spot in the parking lot due to car limitations.
Suggestions overall– come on a Wednesday for greater deals. It’s the 2^nd and last day of the opening days and I’m pretty sure vendors are looking to sale as much as they can.

Totally awesome Flea Market. This is the only one I’ve been to in Northern California however, it was definitely larger and more interesting than anything I have seen in in Southern CA.
Everyone was very friendly. The fresh produce selection was by far the highlight of my visit. When you can get 7 avocados for $ 1 and watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew for $ 1 each, you know you’re getting a great deal! The real test was going home and tasting the quality of the fruits and veggies we purchased here-​totally amazing.
Of course being a Foodie, the second highlight of the Flea market was the food. My boyfriend and I got some roasted corn and wow! Yum! The best roasted corn I’ve ever had, and yes, they have all the fixings!
The only reason I am not giving the Gault flea market 5 stars is because I would like to see more variety of venders. We have seen the knife guy, the video game guy and the guy selling christmas ornaments from an estate sale, mix it up!
Don’t get me wrong, you will have a good time here and probably find a couple treasures. I will definitely come back, I am a fan!

Looking for that special gift? Never fear Galt Flea Market is here. They are open on Tuesday and Wednesday only. Take a leisurely stroll along rows and rows of great merchandise at bargain prices. I noticed that purses and cheap «Bling– Bling» jewelry were a big draw. I personally am drawn to vendors who sell survival knives. Some of these knives have a compass, others have a glass breaker for emergency situations. My wife enjoys browsing the many purse vendors.
Another reason I enjoy coming here is for the food. Don’t tell my wife that! My favorite thing to eat here are the grilled chicken skewer. Marinated tender pieces of chicken grilled to perfection. Yum-​Yum!
No mater what you happen to order, whether it Vietnamese or Mexican, it’s all wonderful. Food prices are very reasonable.
As we walked down the last row we came upon vendors selling fresh fruit and vegetables. Being in the produce business for the last 40 years I felt at home here. Me and my melons.
We find the best time to come is in the morning for the simple fact that the temperature is still cool and parking is not a problem.
So bring your walking shoes and your appetite and «ENJOY»

Ever since the renovation of our home had been completed, we have been searching for days for the right furniture and home decorations. I decided to hit Galt flea market bc way back in the day I previously had shopped here for silk floral arrangements.
The previous arrangements we have had did not quite go plus one of the old arrangements the vase got broken so it was sign that I needed something brand new!!! Last Tuesday I found a few silk floral arrangements that worked for few areas of the house. For some reason today I was so much more picky that I wasn’t happy with their present selection of those two vendors I had already purchased from.
I had walked the entire floor of Galt flea market and there was one particular vendor whom I had gone through and asked her prices. She had a purple floral arrangement in front that I felt wasn’t the right colors but I really loved her inventory and style. Her prices were higher but it appeared much more upscale to me that I knew it would work in my house. She in fact had the same vase in back with some silk orchids in the vase but not permanently arranged.
I saw a couple silver swans with a few floral arrangements that I thought could work on our tables.
Also I talked her into making the floral fuchsia orchid arrangement for me as well. It was so nice of her to make it for me but this was after I paid her for the materials which weren’t cheap. She didn’t charge extra for the green leaves or styrofoam though. When I got back the swans were all packed up ready to go. The floral arrangement she made for me was just stunning. I was so extremely pleased with her work. I can hear her husband speak in Chinese that she should pack that floral arrangement to go.
I definitely know where to go back to if I’m looking for a silk floral arrangement stylist. This lady knows her stuff and I’m so happy with my floral arrangement that I will call on her if I need some flowers arranged.
You know i will go back to Galt! Their prices on purses, sunglasses and clothing are so reasonable. Why go shopping to a regular retail store? They make Walmart look expensive! Just a reminder, Galt is only opened Tuesday for regular merchandise and Wednesday mainly for the produce. See you soon Galt flea market!!! I love that caramel popcorn! Yummy and I can smell it now…

Its a flea market! Feel like I stepped back to Mexico. In a good way that is! Lots to choose from but being it is a fea market it has cheap stuff. It is very clean. It has plenty to choose from for snacks and drinks. All in all a fun pleace to spen a few hours!

A decent flea market. Not too big. Look for bargains. Some of the vendors think we are not savvy shoppers and inflate the prices. Great price on produce. Get there early. There is lots of parking in surrounding areas before 9:30ish.

I’m not usually an impulse shopper, but spending a leisurely day at a flea market can sometimes be therapeutic when I get thoughts of possible bargains and saving money. This is one of the larger flea markets around next to Denial’s in Roseville. This city owned market place happens every Tues. & Wed. Unfortunately, I am rarely able to go because I work on those days, but when the opportunity arises during my vacation time, I will set aside my Wed. off to get up early with Joe K. and take the short trek to the sleepy town of Galt, CA.
Like most flea markets, expect to find an over abundance of old junk, obsolete items, antiques, deeply discounted new and gently used merchandise. A large section holds a Farmer’s market and food trucks. We often have certain items that we keep an eye out for such as tools, attractive rocks and crystals, hair clips, socks and of course fresh produce. This year, over past ones, I spent the most money I would have ever expected! Hair clips for my job were only a dollar each. Socks for me and Joe that we always wear out — 15 pairs for $ 10.00. Cute novelty necklaces for a $ 1.00 each. Pair of shoes for $ 5.00. Two Egyptian statues that went with my collection — $ 15.00. A colorful garden wind catcher — $ 4.00. Strawberries, avocados, potatoes and tangerines were just a few of the items we ended up with along our way!
Not everything here is old and second hand stuff, there is plenty of brand new merchandise too. Cell phone accessories, Avon products, gold and silver jewelry, pots and pans, toys, plants, Mexican music, ethnic items, clothes, even underwear! Vendors will often wheel and deal, so don’t be afraid to make offers. There is also a covered eating area where you can purchase «food truck» style meals and beverages. Since the Galt Flea Market is located on a huge asphalt covered plot of land, going during the warmer months mean that it can get very hot and very uncomfortable to enjoy yourself. Go early in the morning, dress appropriately, wear sunscreen and bring lots of water!
My co-​workers laughed when they asked if I did anything fun on my «staycation» and I replied that I went to the Galt Flea Market!

I aint gonna lie every time i can get out here on a Tuesday or Wednesday i do it! Tuesdays are whole sale days and Wednesdays are just regular flea market day, this flea market is not really big which i like and is not a dirty flea market like the one in Folsom blvd.
Is kinda sad when some vendors know you by ur name. That goes to show how much i come here. What can i say? Im a loyal dude lol.
The food court is pretty good ive tried all the chinese food from every stand but my favorite one is the Vietnamese food stand it sits alone across from the other Chinese spots they have the best spicy chicken entrees and the best curry chicken, curry chicken is only available on Wednesdays :(
When you go to galt u have to visit Alex he’s the one with all the Mexican bracelets, sugar skulls, lucha libre mask (Mexican wrestling) he has a lot cool stuff, also look for the lil asian man with all the soaps deodorants shampoos, tooth pastes, he has great deals. I took pics of the stands i just wrote about. The produce is cool here too. U could always tell what produce is actually fresh than the kind thats old and pre packaged i know this because i used to work for a produce company. The fresh stuff will have stems and leaves the other stuff will have stickers of pre inspections. Over all i give this place 5 stars i love it and love the vibe and the smells around the food court. YOU MUST GO THERE just be aware that if you get there late, parking is a bitch! I get there around 9 am All the time make sure you dont park some where ur not supposed to cuz u will get a parking ticket.

I went today, a Tuesday, and let me tell you my experience! So I arrived there at 11AM & being a first timer, I wasn’t aware of the parking situation. I personally thought the parking lot was so tiny compared to the San Jose Flea Market’s parking lot. My mom got grumpy after about 30mins of making circles & not finding a parking. After we finally parked I got to go in! It’s basically a regular flea market. Nothing new. Something that I was happy about was finding cheap makeup! Sounds crazy but drugstore lipsticks, glosses, eyeliners, eyeshadows & etc was only $ 1-​$ 2! Yes I’m talking about Covergirl, Revlon, & Maybelline! This was my favorite part since I find myself spending $ 6-​$ 13 for these products in Walmart or Target! Overall great place!
Pros:
— Cheap
— Free Parking
— Delicious food
— Something for everyone
Cons:
— Small parking lot
— Some rude vendors
— VERY oily/​greasy food
— Gets super crowded

I miss coming here! I used to live in stockton so I would come here almost every Tuesday. I always found some great buys. I’ve bought home décor, cell phone accessories, kids stuff, Vans, Chucks, all kinds of good stuff. You have to pick and choose and make sure you’re not buying something that probably won’t last long. For example I bought a beautiful doll for my daughter and it literally only lasted a month. The head came off and everything but it was my fault because I should have checked it out better before buying it. The head was glued on so yeah it was bound to come off. Lol
So my advice is shop smart. You can find great stuff here! Oh and the food is great!

Tuesday’s are typically wholesale day they do have things for most people. It is a clean place to go and most vendors will be obliged to help you with your needs. NOTE: some vendors do ask for your business license on Tuesday’s.
I usually tend to go on Tuesday, although they are open on Wednesday’s, too.
Wednesday’s have more traditional Flea Market finds both new & used. There is also a nice little food court in the center of the flea market. Let’s not forget the produce section. A lot of local farm produce. A lot of Hispanic types of produce.
Fun place to go for the day.

Love love this place so much so I forget to write a review! They are only.open.on Tuesday and Wednesdays until 2pm.
They have a huge variety from new and used items! Whenever I can get to the Galt Flea Market i purchase a bulk of fruits, vegetables, and definitely household items.
They have several booths with new and used clothing. One thing that has grown in popularity here are the increased Hmong clothing, music and products!
Come hungry isn’t a problem there are plenty of food trucks offering from American, Vietnamese, Chinese and Mexican Food!

NO DOGS ALLOWED! I searched all over the website and Unilocal to see if there was anything dog-​friendly allowed at the market, nothing. I had to find out at the gate with the sign when I brought my pooch. I drove hours to come so obviously I was not going to drive back home. I brought in my puppy anyways, held her of course and no one even staff said anything. If I knew earlier, I would have just left her at home with someone without the trouble.
Besides all of that, its terrible to go after 12pm if you don’t want to get burned in the sun. Great selection of items, just learn how to bargain for your products.

Omg wat can I say abt Galt Flea Market? Lol
There’s soooo many things your find here. you name it it’s probably here.lol.there’s plenty of interesting things to look at wether your just walking by or really digging in. best time to go is early when they open cause there’s isn’t too many people there and parking is wonderful and it also gives you the chance to really browse around but once the afternoon hits that’s when it gets really pack and it’s super hot. and that’s usually the time I leave.
What’s funny abt this place is that when u come here expect to run into everybody and they momma lol. cause yes there will be someone you know that’ll your run into lol. otherwise I like it here. u just nvr know wat great finds your find here and you get to enjoy the interesting outrageous outfits people wear just to come to a flea market lol. oh yea and a good walk. so thumbs up
