Since 1965, millions of people have traveled to the The Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet open air market in search of great deals. More than 500 vendors spread out across more than 16 acres and tempt bargain-hunters with everything from graphic tees to paper lanterns.

Still, shopping is hardly the only thing to do here—there's also a food court with picnic tables and beer stands. Under the food court's covered-patio section, live bands perform daily. On the weekend, bands play Latin music and cover bands revive the catalogs of everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Smiths. Families can groove to tunes on the dance floor or watch performances by folk ballet dancers or a stray napkin that caught a rather rhythmic gust of wind.
