Directions for Flea Market in Parking Lot 2

Driving south on Fruitvale Avenue, turn left onto Allendale Avenue. We recommend that both buyers and sellers enter from Allendale onto Science Way (second right turn heading east from Fruitvale). Avoid the VTA entrance, which has no access to the college. You may also enter from Fruitvale avenue. Just turn left onto College Circle and travel past lot 3. Look for a signs indicating the entrance for buyers or sellers.

If buyer parking in lot 2 is full, there is additional parking in lot 1. You may also park in lot 4 and walk to the EFM from there. Be sure to buy a daily parking permit from the yellow parking dispensor in the lot and put in on your dashboard visible through the windshield, else you may receive a parking ticket.

Note that lot 3 is occupied by a farmers market and should be avoided by flea market attendees.

No overnight parking is allowed between 12:00 AM-5:00 AM.
