Once home to the 1932/1984 Summer Olympics and the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the Rose Bowl Flea Market is a true legend among flea market enthusiasts in California. More than 20,000 flea market enthusiasts and over 2,500 merchants gather each month at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena in one huge swap meet.
