The last weekend of every month is TreasureFest - where small businesses in jewelry, food, pastries, plants, art, clothing, stickers, crystals, vintage finds, pottery, music, home goods, live music and performers, and more come together to create a family-fun environment. Pet-friendly - make sure your pet is on a leash at all times. My favorite part of this event is seeing all of the cute doggies. Some are dressed up in hats, sunnies, clothes some may have gotten from vendors at the event. Each month, the selection of vendors do change -- you might see the same ones always coming back while others might not return or be back other months. It's helpful if you maybe have a cart with you -- only if you're the type of person who plans to find a lot or larger items. The vendors for the most part are placed in sections based on what they're selling. There is a food court where there are food trucks and booths selling drinks and snacks. Picnic tables, live music, entertainment for kids -- outdoor games like chess, bean bag toss, connect four, jenga, legos, hula hoops, etc. read more

I went to the March TreasureFest and would absolutely return. It's the perfect spot for me and my Oakland/Berkeley friends to meet up. I was worried about the parking/traffic situation because the last time I went to the Alameda Antique Fair I almost lost it. Luckily, this is a well oiled machine with folks directing traffic. I arrived at 11 on a Sunday and left at 2:30. The organizers do a great job creating an event that is organized and flows. The vendors were great, tons of food trucks, interactive "survivor- inspired" games for the whole family, DJ with bubble machine, live art, a stage in the middle of the food truck area with live music, and bars and bathrooms throughout. The only complaint I have is the vendor that sells pictures with birds for "charity." First, what charity? Second, why are you out here yelling at people that are considering promoting your business? Not sure why anyone would want some weird dudes putting birds of prey on people let alone pay for it. I watched one of them have a heated exchange with a dog owner who was walking her dog past the booth. So weird. I would absolutely return to and applaud the organizers for such a well planned and executed event. read more

Attended the new 2024 TreasureFest this past weekend, a monthly entertainment event and marketplace taking place on Treasure Island. There was a ton of traffic driving in, but a lot of workers directing traffic in the right direction, and they didn't seem to have a shortage of free parking... though there was a lack of signage along the 20 minute walk from the parking lot to event. It doesn't help that cell phone signal is spotty on the island. There was also a lack of signage about restrooms, so a giant line formed at the porta potties near the main entrance, later to find that further down the row of vendors, there were more porta potty areas in both directions, with shorter lines. There was a wide variety of merchandise tents lined up along the water (facing the east bay, not SF like where this event was located in the past), two long rows with a pathway in between for attendees to walk through. But the space between these rows of shops was a bit narrow, especially for the early afternoon crowd, with dogs, baby strollers, and slow walkers adding to the traffic jams, so that was a bit annoying. Flea market type vendors were grouped on one side, and the other side had more crafts and modern vendors (like an art and maker faire). Lots to see and explore, such as customizable hats, adorable stickers with clever quotes and sayings integrated into the artwork, and t-shirts with cute animal designs (many I'm familiar with, but some new ones too). Entertainment included a magician and live music, as well as a hot wheels track for the kiddos. In addition, there were plenty of photo ops, free samples of dried fruit, jerky, and sweet treats, and several great finds. We got a bargain on some really cute overalls, as well as $40 worth of pu-er dragon tea. There were about 15-20 food trucks/stands in the food court area, it was like a separate mini night market/food festival, with the long lines we all know and hate. There was a small stage in the middle, made out of a shipping container, really cute, with a live band playing awesome tunes, but the sound system was not so great, the speakers poorly placed and of cheap quality. Food options included filipino street food, oyster bar, corn in a cup, Respectable Bird, Cousins Maine Lobster, musubi, peruvian food, bulgarian food, Get In My Belly, Chinita Baker, Holey Donuts, Wood-fired Pizza, meat skewers, bbq, and Humphry Slocombe ice cream. Multiple beverage/bar stands could be found throughout the festival, not just in the food court area. There was a decent amount of seating, but not nearly enough for the crowds on a Sunday afternoon... there was also a bit of seating along the water, with a beautiful view. We snagged a couple seats at one of the communal tables, and enjoyed some delicious treats from Kuker bulgarian food truck. I highly recommend this. Not only was the line shorter than most other food stands, but the food was amazing. We tried the beef and pork dish, marinated chicken dish, and spinach banitsa appetizer... yummy!! read more

Traveled from Reno and visited Treasurefest on Sunday, July 28th, and we couldn't believe how BEAUTIFUL this venue is!. It was SO easy to get to this weekend- traffic was reasonable and the weather couldn't have been better. Parking was super easy and all the vendors ( and fellow visitors!) were all so friendly. If you want to spend what is easily a magical afternoon, make sure to check this Treasurefest out before the season ends. I believe it is always held the last weekend of every month Spring through Autumn. We WILL return! read more

What an experience, here at Treasure Fest. This took place over the weekend, at Treasure Island. General admission was $20, but thanks to the YELP Elite ticket giveaways, my entry was free. The entire festival has what you need: live music, over 40+ vendors and taco trucks, and an entire free market, which local businesses and services offered. This includes local, organic food, stickers, clothes, foreign items and miscellaneous Parking free, and restrooms available throughout the event. It was not packed at all, and this was surely because of Easter weekend. I got myself a natural car diffuser, kettle popcorn and tried out the food there. I had to go with the Jamaican food truck, with their Jerk Chicken Plate. Also ate some ice cream, and some alcohol, in Margarita Value was on the more expensive side, with your usual overcharge on drinks and food. The deals were the best in the market, with clothes and items. Service was a vibe: amazing, and the environment was perfect for a day out I'll also highlight how many dogs were in attendance read more

Opening day was chaotic. I'm sorry but I had to open with that. Treasure island should take only 15min max from Oakland but this event was extremely popular and it took us 2 hrs. I'm used to traffic into SF but 2 hrs for treasure island?! Insane. A lot of the main streets were blocked due to construction and vendor parking so we opted to park way back on 13th. The walk was another 10 min. I'm always prepared with kids so I took a wagon with chairs, wipes (sanitary and chlorine), sunscreen and water. Walking to the venue was a little bit of a struggle because the sidewalks are uneven and broken. Using the street to walk was a struggle because of patrons looking for parking. Venue: when you get there, there are 2 lanes. One for purchasing tickets and prepaid tickets but there's no signage of that so someone had to walk up and down to tell us. Entrance was easy. Restrooms are portable toilets and if you're a germaphobe or hate tight spaces, then avoid it at all costs. I didn't see any convenience stores so keep that in mind if you want to "leave to find a bathroom." Please also keep in mind that there are no tall buildings around the area and the sun faces opposite to the palm trees so shade is limited. Wear a hat and glasses or take an umbrella because you will get sunburnt. Merchants: loved all the merchants. They had small business's that had cool things like DIY charm bracelets , collectors items and vintage clothing. Pro tip: signal was spotty for digital payment methods so have cash on hand for those experiencing problems. There were 2 atms here too! Food: OK here's where it gets overwhelming. The food trucks are situated in between the merchants, in an unpaved lot. It's not stroller friendly. The lines for food were about 40-60min but wait time for food was less than 15. Again, there's no shade in this area. There's bands playing in the middle and seating inside the lot or across into the merchant alley. We chose to eat under the palm trees. Food was OK but most meals were upwards of $20+ and with a family of 4, it ate into our budget. I'm unsure if outside food is OK but that's a better option than having to wait in the blazing sun. Pro tip: coffee and pastry merchants had shorter wait times and plenty of non-caffeinated drinks, napkins, utensils. We left my home at 11 and entered the venue at 1:20ish. By 3:30 we were tired and ready to go. I'll definitely go back but not with the kiddos. They had a small space for kids to play at by the palm trees but there was just too many people everywhere and the heat was excruciating. I would say get there earlier for parking but that's also when the sun is the hottest so there is no real "best time" to go but maybe on a foggy day? read more

I've heard about Treasure Fest but have been wanting to check it out. I was fortunate to win a pair of tickets from the Yelp East Bay Giveaway: Treasure Fest March. We got there about 12:30 on Sunday and I guess it must have been peak of arrival. We followed a line of cars for about 15 minutes as the workers directed us to the street where there was available parking. Once we parked, we walked for about two blocks to the 8th Street entrance with a line for ticket holders and non-ticketholders. The general admission tickets are $20. Entering from 8th St., we were in the center of the Fest. We decided to proceed to the left and then head back the other direction. The Fest consists of over 40 vendors selling crafts, artwork, and used/vintage/antique clothing and wares, food items and plants. There was an open section with about 20 food trucks with tables for patrons to enjoy their food. I bought some dried fruit from Baba Bazaar, jerky from btb and air plants from R G Succulents. I'm glad I finally got to experience Treasure Fest thanks to Yelp East Bay. Enjoy the Fest and the beautiful views of the Bay, the East Bay and the eastern span of the Bay Bridge. read more

A beautiful venue for the festival. Took the ferry from S.F. Plan ahead to make sure you get a ferry back (we ended up taking the bus since we missed the ferry we wanted). Buy tickets for the festival online ahead of time ($15-$20). Many food truck vendors. The shopping booths tend to be more vintage. Looks like there is plenty of parking on the island for those that drive. My fav booth with RG Succulents. read more

What a great time! Like a giant farmers market of art and food. We went on a Saturday and the weather was beautiful! The bar service was quick and the margaritas were actually so much better than I expected them to be! Food trucks were awesome, we tried about 3 before we got so full we couldn't go on. There was a large selection of different types of food and drinks. The art was so fun to see and all the different Bay Area businesses. It's great to see the community come together for something like this after recent years of isolation. We had a great time, and we appreciate the low price of the early bird tickets. Thanks Treasure Fest! read more

First time bring at Treasure island:) I won 2 general tickets so I brought my husband and we bought a child ticket for our 5 year old :). We told friends about it so another school friend joined us and our daughter had an absolute blast. Very child and pet friendly. They had a kids corner which was a lot of fun. We explored the treasure fest among different artists and vendors there and enjoyed food and drinks- those bloody Mary's were on point! read more

Oh how I missed Treasure Fest!! Came here on opening day for 2024 (Feb 24,2024). I highly recommend coming early to beat the rush of traffic getting in and finding good parking. Since it has been some time since they last had TreasureFest on Treasure Island/in general, we wanted to come early since we weren't sure what parking would be like. We were able to get good parking just a short walking distance away. Just be aware that if you plan to stay until they close and depending on where you park, it will take you a while to get out of the island since there is only really one way in and one way out. There are different locations to enter the event. My S/O and I got in as soon as they opened by an associate just scanning our tickets. My sister in law entered in at a different area and was told to wait since the TeasureFest folks were waiting for wristbands to give to people who entered, so they got wristbands but my S/O and I didn't, which wasn't a big deal since we weren't planning on leaving the establishment and coming back in. I believe the venue will be improving this system to be more seamless. Furthermore, there were certain areas with porta-potties that were clean, at least when I used it, so no issues there. Again, I know this is something they will also be improving on by adding more sections with restrooms. There was also a big area where they had tables and food trucks! I didn't get any food while i was there but it all looked great and spacious. Again, this is something they mentioned they will also improve of, with adding more vendors, more space, and tables. Other than that, the shopping and layout of the event was amazing!!! I love how they have thrift and vintage in one area, boutiques and specialty items in another section, and food in the other. I highly recommend bringing water and a cart of some sort. i brought my wagon to use when I purchased items and it was such a lifesaver instead of having to carry all my items. Lastly, this is a dog-friendly event so if you have a pup, they are allowed. I appreciate that they listen to feedback and are making actionable strides to make it a better experience for everyone. I love TreasureFest so definitely will be coming back. read more

What an awesome time! I won a giveaway for two free tickets to TreasureFest and I brought my partner along to share the fun. There's free parking that can be a little bit difficult to wait for but luckily there are parking and traffic attendants all over making sure that everyone gets a spot! We waited around 15-20 minutes waiting for parking and we were a little early so make sure to plan for that! There is a vast selection of goods to be bought and food to be eaten, ranging from Asian-inspired scents and candles to artisanal pet treats! My partner and I picked up a few t-shirts, a scarf, salmon cat treats, and a half-dozen egg tarts to take home. It was awesome! We also stopped by the food area to check out the diverse group of food truck/vendor options ranging from Filipino street food to Bulgarian comfort dishes to flavorful Mexican taqueria eats. I chose to order salbutes with cochinita pibil from Cochinita SF while my partner ordered chicken yakitori from Yakitori Yado. Both of our food options were great! I'd honestly go back just for the cochinita pibil (it was tasty!). It was also awesome to be able to just get some food and sit down to watch live music. Can't wait to go to the next one :) I loved our experience and the selection of options we had as well. read more

I intended to write a review, but then I realized I did in 2014, so here's my updated take! I'm happy to see TreasureFest back--previously known as the Treasure Island Flea. First thiing I noticed was the entrance fee.. it increased from $3 to $15, with an early bird rate of $10. Getting there was a easy, and there was plenty of parking available. As soon as we stepped into the festival, we were welcomed by live entertainment and a diverse array of vendors. Compared to my last visit in 2014, there seemed to be fewer antiques and flea market finds, with more focus on small-owned businesses instead. The variety of food trucks and seating areas made for a pleasant dining experience. We enjoyed soaking in the views and all the unique offerings from the vendors. Looking for more TreasureFest in the future! read more

Amazing venue, especially if the weather is nice. Vendors/makers are good, there is troubadour-style live music, cocktails are available, and there's a "food court" of trucks. They added more seating and that's an improvement. We used to attend more frequently (when admission was $5, then $10) but now the $20 admission is a deterrent unless the weather's perfect. Advance tickets are available online for $10 but we always wait until day-of to assess the weather; Treasure Island is a miserable place when it's cold and windy. read more

Great place (with an unbeatable view!) to escape the 3-digit summer heat just on the other side of the Caldecott. There is a large selection of food trucks to feed every appetite...and leashed dogs (I even saw a leashed Duck!) are welcome. Make some time to hang out here and you won't regret it, folks. read more

I thought this was more of a flea market based on what I read but really it is more of a craft fair. Pretty expensive to get , $60 for 2 They had about 20 food trucks so many options for food. Bring your own chair as there are very few tables. Lots of grass area though Lots of vendors and clean Porta potties. Free parking. read more

What an absolutely stunning place to hear some great music, shop for unique gifts and eat from some really fun food trucks! Treasure Fest is back from a short break and they've got it down! Angie and Charles Ansanelli have created a really fun and friendly (and even dog friendly) space to hang out on the last weekend of every month. And check out the incredible views of the City on the way in and out! Free parking as well! read more

Our first time attending this function. I thought there was a good Mix of antique and new crafts. Ample food and drinks with long lines but that's to be expected. It was spread out and COVID policies in place. Parking was plentiful. There was enough handicapped. There were Lots of dogs being walked around. Maybe a few pooch stations would be helpful. I definitely purchased items and would return without hesitation. read more

I went to TF ON OPENING DAY!! My son and I had fun. Parking took 10 min to find. Getting in took 15 min in line. Yes it was crazy crowded ... yes took us 30 min from the exit to front entrance. What you expect... it was chinese new year parade... bridge was baaaaacked up.. its the baybay on a nice day... everyone and they mama was out and about. Inside it was packed... tons of vendors... we didnt eat there cause we had lunch plans elsewhere. I dont drink so didnt buy mixed drinks/beer. It was a great vibe... people having a great time... NO drama.. at least not while we were there. read more

It was a great day to go and if I lived in SF, I would definitely Uber/Lyft over instead of driving. Parking is challenging because the people with the vests only can direct to far and you're on your own to look for a spot or get creative. Overall, it's a fun event, mixed with old, new and creative. Unfortunately, food lines were long and we got impatient and ordered from the Pork Exchange, they ran out of pulled pork and were running out of things as we ordered. Ended up with the pork belly slider, sloppy Joe's and 2 Thai Iced Tea - after $41, the teas were the best part. Both sliders were dry (how can a sloppy Joe be dry) and the brioche bread were not soft. The pork belly was barely grilled, no flavor and the Japanese mayo was sparse, they should have offered condiments, aside from the Sriracha. Because we were next to the skewer place, we reeked of bbq and rushed home to taste. Bought things like CBD cream, honey, dried sage and some pies one of the pie places and they weren't great, felt like the folks in front of me lied - the best ones were the lemon and strawberry and plain lemon. It's like a lemon bar and the one with the strawberry, only had the one little strawberry on the top. The Walnut and Pecan pies were okay, just nothing special that would entice me to by from them again. I think the crust was the main issue, either it was too thin or too fragile. Having 2 ATM machines being down didn't help because the Square payments were not connecting on most vendors. If you go, please get your ticket in advance, it's cheaper and the line is a little shorter - what was annoying were people passing the lines loudly voicing their irritation with the lines when they could have gotten there sooner. We did notice that there were 2 other entrances, maybe there should have been signs to help disburse the crowds. Oh, parking was free for us anyway but it's advertised free for those who buy the tickets or passes. Last thought, the alcohol areas were swamped, I don't know that I would buy a pass if you have to wait in the long lines. read more

So i discovered this place on groupon a few years ago and we come here at least twice a year. It's always the last weekend of every month. It's always a fun time when we come here it's pretty much like a flea market here. I ℒℴℯ the groupon that includes drinks and entrance fee. This a go to thing for us me and hubby and sometimes our kids or friends. Yℴu can definitely have an amazing time here yℴu never know what your ever gonna stumble upon. There definitely something for everyone young or old alike. You can go wrong with a beautiful view of San Francisco skyline on the water front. They have bogo happy hour from 10-11am on the specially drink of the weekend. I love the fact there's 2 difference entrance so it's a smooth time getting in. I always find some here I never really leave empty handed. I have gotten small Disney pins, spices, sauces, bbq things, jewelry, coasters, tons of succulents. It's a great time to kill a few hours there and at the end of it there's usually 35-40 food trucks to choose from from Japanese, Korean, Hawaiian, Delis, ice cream, coffee, American, bbqs seafood , Mexican and so much more. Come check it out if you never been a great weekend trip to the bay. Don't forget to wear sunscreen yℴu will still get burnt like my family did. It's $5 entrance fee and parking is free. Bring cash, some booth take card but they have atms all over the place mainly by the entrance. Cheers read more

First time to Treasure Fest and we stayed the entire day! Very family friendly with little kid / game areas scattered throughout. Our 3 year old had a blast. Lots of food trucks, good live music and interesting vendors. We played at the Hot Wheels station for an hour. I recommend checking this festival out. Weather was beautiful, but windy. Bring a long sleeve & hat. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. read more

Fun fun fun! Crowded but not as crazy as it must get when the weather is better! Super pet friendly! Beautiful location along the water with a wide variety of artisan vendors. Ample food truck choices but the lines were just nuts. It didn't feel THAT crowded until we got in line and waited 45 minutes for a grilled cheese. My friend waited in a separate line and it took nearly as long for her taco. Yes it WAS lunch time so our timing was bad but EEK. We ended the day with my 14 year old and his friend playing in the hamster-ball-like water orbs. We looked more than we bought but it was a fun first time. read more

I'm writing at as vendor. The WiFi barely worked so taking cards via Square took forever. The parking situation was awful. On Sunday I finished packing up , got in my car and sat in the parking lot for AN HOUR because of traffic from all of the vendors. The cost to get in is absolutely ridiculous and deterred a bunch of people I had invited. It's a public market/vendor show...why are we charging to get in? After family of 4 spends $100 in admission, buys food and drinks...are they going to purchase stuff from the art vendors? Not so much. Never doing this market again and talked to many vendors who feel the same. For the price it costs to be a vendor (ALOT) it is absolutely not worth it. read more

Even after all these years we have never made time to visit TI. Luckily we arrived in the City on the weekend in bright clear weather. Instead of getting there right at 10, we got there after noon and it was easy finding parking. We took advantage of online tix, esp after comparing TreasureFest prices vs Groupon. Two drinks included! Lots to look at and browse along the strip adjacent to clear bay views. Plenty of people watching, food and drinks. Great innovative plants, gifts, art and vintage clothing. If you haven't taken advantage of being in the middle of the bay and browse flea market finds, do it before its gone. read more

A great way to spend the weekend! This was my first time at Treasure Island Flea Market and I thought it was fun. There were plenty of vendors that sold a variety of items form clothing/jewelry to bath/spa products, pet accessories and much much more. There was also a good selection of food trucks with fun music all throughout the market. It is pet and kid friendly. The staff members we encounters at the entrance and bar were all nice. Parking is free, admissions is super affordable and location is nice with a beautiful view of the bay. Overall, I had a good first time experience and wouldn't mind returning especially during good weather. read more

My new favorite thing to do in SF! Luckily, I was in town for the 1st Treasure Island Flea of the season. Weather was nice and sunny. Perfect for galavanting, eating, and shopping. Took and Uber thinking there wouldn't be parking but, there actually was a lot. Maybe it helped that we came 2 hours before close. Despite the late start, we left with great finds. 1. Tasty Bloody Marys that was spicy and spicy, the latter being lots of alcohol lol 2. Vintage denim jackets that I haven't really seen in stores before. Prolly cuz it has the 80's over sized denim look. 3. Sage. Been meaning to get dried sage to "clean the bad vibes" out of my house. And found a large bunch here :) 4. Crystals. This goes well with giving me "good vibes!" Haha I love thrifting but, I've mainly done so at Goodwill stores. This is a close second to that! read more

This was a taste of old San Francisco that I have not seen in decades. I highly recommend. Myself and my teen aged sons attended. My two had a wonderful time -- no corporate logos anywhere. This was a huge relief and a nice get-away for the day. They gave it two thumbs up! And. I got to spend time with my family without their phones in their faces. It was beautiful weather. They love second hand goods, vintage finds and hand made stuff. It was a rare opportunity to watch them sift through clothing, looking to see what interested them outside of an Internet algorithm. And bringing my doggie was a benefit. He had a really good time too. Everyone was very respectful with their dogs too. I am sorry that this festival has been relocated to the farthest edge of the island by the corporate TechArea take over of San Francisco. My two boys were not aware of the break away they were getting. Yet still full of smiles and warmth and were truly worn out by the end our day. In a good way! This is a wonderful outing for families with teens. Not sure about smaller children. Yes. San Francisco was once cool, famous for its paintings and painters. And it's street vendors, open air entertainment and culture of inclusivity. It's all so "eh" now. No jugglers or magicians anymore on Fisherman's wharf. I have some complaints too. The lines ! the waits! The traffic ! And live musicians. Yet there were interesting characters. KInd of like the old days in SF. There were two B&White striped dressed performer characters, walking up and down. Ode to Alcatraz or San Quentin? You choose. "Interactives" were a "robot" -- stationary thingy a salty sailor with his rescue Grey owl, and a four eared scruffy pedal puppet (Indeed. SF was once very very famous for storytelling and puppetry) in the shape of a goat or, a dog? It was interesting and fun. Very crowed for sure. I wish people knew how the island served for the World Fair of the Pacific and had clipper ships flying out every day. But back to the 21 century and our day. The vendors were fun and had a lot of personality. We supported some of the vendors by buying. A few had inexpensive vintage and hand crafted wares. All of them took Venmo. It was worth some of the pretense, long waits in traffic, food lines, the dusty eating area, lines to get in (but the ladies taking tickets were really nice and fast), lines to the potty, ugh. And if you're a big fan of being beneath the back drop of the new bridge span, it's a wonderful outing. I'll go again even if there is always traffic. And wish this to be a mainstay. We need more of this in honor to small business' cottage industry, artists, hand made quality crafts, imports. Our culture is starved for authentic REAL experiences and quality goods. Even if a little funky. Let do more for them. read more

Fun weekend activity if you are looking to get away from the crowded city life. It's located on treasure island so you're surrounded by awesome views of the city and bridge. Admission is cashless at the entrance or you can pay the inconvenience fees at eventbrite/ticketfairy. If you plan ahead they do offer $3 and $4 admission prices online. Free parking is a perk probably to attract more attendees to come. Don't expect a vintage used flea market experience; it's more of a hipster street fair with food trucks and beer for sale to enjoy the views. Booths selling cutesy succulents, used clothes, and crafts. read more

I was not impressed by TreasureFest at all. While the location/parking was easy to get to and the views from the island are beautiful, the $15-20 person entry charge is overkill for what the event actually is. IMO, save your money and go to a free street festival/market. There is zero added value to the entrance fee. The food trucks were mediocre as were the vendors (mostly selling used clothes and landfill tchotchkes). FWIW, we spent maybe 90 minutes walking the vendors and grabbing a crappy burrito. Did we need to spend $30-40 to do that? Probably not. Save your money & don't waste your time. Very disappointing. read more

Super fun event and beautiful location! All tents are set up right along the water with views of the city. Tons of vendor tents selling stuff like jewelry, succulents, vintage clothes, and more!

TreasureFest - Toast from the food trucks - Flea Markets Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am really disappointed. This new location did not seemed to have as many vendors as the previous San FRancisco location. For $25 per ticket (USE GROUPON FOR A DISCOUNT), what they offer is not worth it. Just go to a mall. Everything is over priced, from the thrift items to the food and drinks. This event should be cheaper to enter. There were barely any seating in the food truck area. They do have a game zone, good for groups. There is ample parking. It is pet friendly. The layout of e vendors was weird. Everything felt disconnected. It felt more like a big thrift shop with food trucks rather than a handmade, vintage artisans events. Sadly, I will not return. read more

Treasure Island Flea aka Treasure Island Flea Market. Like hip-hop in the 1990s, Treasure Island Flea was much better on the west side. This new location on Avenue N along the east side of the government-made island now has views of the less-impressive Oakland waterfront that pales in comparison to the former views of the cityscape of San Francisco. Although rumor has it that the container cranes at the Port of Oakland were the inspiration for the AT-AT Walkers from Star Wars. Anyways... I guess you can say that the grass is not always greener on the other side because the old location set up the food trucks along the "Great Lawn" that true to its name had a great grassy lawn. Sadly, this new food truck area just had a dirt-filled lot with a bunch of plugged remediation wells since it was the location of an old fuel farm for the Navy. The wife, furbaby, and I visited Treasure Island Flea for their reopening today to pick up some antiques for her various hobbies. Let me repeat, the furbaby part because unlike most other flea markets, Treasure Island Flea is dog-friendly. In fact, the "Flea" in their name probably refers to all the dogs with fleas that visit! I kiddddddd. With several bars, food truck staging area, and hundreds of vendors, there is definitely something for everyone. Be it old posters, vintage clothes, dog treats, or succulents, Treasure Island Flea has a lot to offer. Just don't forget the sunscreen because there is a lack of shade. And not to throw "shade", but sometimes, the same thing is not the same thing. For instance, Colin Kaepernick is still a 49ers quarterback, but I would rather have the 2013 Kaepernick that went to the Super Bowl than this bench-warmer guy making $14 million this year who seems to make more headlines off the field than on. In that same manner, the old Treasure Island Flea location was wayyyyyyy better! Look, I don't blame Treasure Island Flea because they were forced to move due to planned redevelopment of their old location. But then again, I don't think we will be back because the charm or should I say the "treasure" has been lost since you can't really picnic on dirt. Sigh... * Admission is $3 but if you plan ahead you can purchase their online deal for $11 where you get admission for two and two sangrias topped with a sage leaf: https://www.universe.com/events/ti-flea-entry-sangrias-50-off-tickets-san-francisco-BN2FJ * Parking is free. * Don't be afraid to haggle with vendors. read more

Half our lives are spent accumulating stuff and the other half are obsessed with getting rid of said stuff. I'm now on the back nine of that saying with a garage piled high with crap I can't wait to jettison. Still though, the allure of shopping pulls at me and Treasure Island Flea seems like the perfect place for someone in such a position. It has just enough other stuff going on that whether or not one is into "shopping to buy" one can make a mighty enjoyable day of it out here. First, there is that view. With the new normal for weather around these parts, experiencing the views from TI is reason enough to go. For so long this area was not accessible to civilians; on a beautiful weekend day come here to take advantage of the breathtaking views of both bridges, the City skyline, and the jewel-box bay. Did someone say dogs? Reason number two. Dogs are not only allowed at TI Flea but so ubiquitous that I began thinking they were mandatory. Alcohol, snap. Over by the food trucks there's an alcohol booth serving beer, wine, and cocktails. Even better is to hail down the little roving bar wagon as you walk the aisles. Yes, you heard right, a roving bar wagon on four little wheels. There's a boatload of food trucks, all with ridiculously long lines on my visit but who cares? The day was gorgeous, what's the hurry? TI Flea is not anywhere as large as the monthly Alameda Point Antiques Faire but has more than enough vendors to enchant anyone who's just browsing. A plethora of vendors seem to be trading in soy candles, succulents, and jewelry but there's a wide variety of interesting things in other categories as well. * Some food (e.g. ice cream) is available amongst the vendors; a good alternative to waiting in long food truck lines. * Currently being held outside; I've heard that it's not as fun when indoors as the setting is easily half the experience. * Free parking * $3 entry fee (free for those 12 and under) * Monthly, on the last weekend of the month. read more

Would encourage the team to move the location of the fair. Was a bit isolated in a random part of the island. Also, it felt like a normal street fair, so not sure why they had to charge admission? Giving two starts bc the food options were actually diverse and decent and there was a live band. read more

TreasureFest - Flea Markets Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love this flea market! They often have groupons for this event on Living Social which is also where I got my tickets. They have 2 tickets plus two drinks for $11 or $22 for 4 tickets and 4 drinks! If you like to get out of the city but completely in across the bay, this is a good middle ground. Treasure Island has a beautiful view, good food supplied by our local food trucks and a lot of unique treasures to choose from. I usually bring cash to every flea market but they also have an ATM! Most of the jewelry is reasonably priced from $10-$60 for the booths I stopped by. They have a lot of succulents all uniquely planted. Parking is free and right next to the entrance to the market. They have live music and it's even dog friendly! :) will be back soon. read more

I've been to the Treasure Island Flea Market several times over the years since it started. It used to be located on the SF side of the island with a beautiful view of the city. It's currently on the East Bay side of the island overlooking the Bay Bridge. I liked it better on the SF side, the stand layout was in rows. Hopefully they'll move back there once whatever is being constructed is complete. Free parking, but there is an entrance fee of $3. Dogs welcome. :) Lots of vendors and food trucks plus bars. Sometimes there's a band. During Halloween they gave away free pumpkins. I really enjoy walking around the flea market, regardless of whether or not I buy anything. :) read more
