Who said Small Business Saturday has to be limited to once a year? We certainly don’t think so. From sidewalk pop-up shops to outdoor markets, the Valley’s got you covered if you’re looking to support your neighbors instead of, I don’t know, going to the mall. And, to be sure, you can have a lot of fun shopping small.

That’s because, from Topanga to Burbank, your neighbors are beaming with creativity. The Valley’s neighborhoods are each unique, so no two markets are ever the same. Read: With this list, you can have a new shopping experience every weekend of the year. 

Plus, some of these pop-ups and markets are highly creative, meaning you can expect visual art, dancing, and musical talent. Dates and locations vary, so make sure to check the event’s Instagram page for the most accurate updates.

Now, without further ado, keep reading to find 10 pop-up shops and outdoor markets to add to your San Fernando Valley social calendar.

10 pop-up shops and outdoor markets in the San Fernando Valley

1. Topanga Vintage Market

Where: Victory Blvd. and Mason Ave., Woodland Hills, CA 91306
When: Fourth Sunday of every month, 7 a.m.-2 p.m.

One of the oldest markets in the Valley, the Topanga Vintage Market celebrated its 10th anniversary this year (!!!). Head over bright and early for the most eclectic home and wardrobe finds. It costs $5 to enter, but you’re basically paying for a real-life treasure-hunting experience. And let’s be real, you’ll take every opportunity to say, “I thrifted it,” whenever someone asks you where you got that jacket (or couch, or lamp, or pillow).

2. Cafe Aficionado’s Pop-Ups

Where: 8904 Reseda Blvd., Northridge, CA 91324
When: Various weekends and times

This family-owned cafe is the definition of “community oriented.” Recognizing the struggles that their fellow small businesses faced during the pandemic, the owners of Cafe Aficionado formed Summer Night Series, which is 5-8:30 p.m. on Fridays, as well as Weekend Pop-Ups (on Saturday and Sunday mornings), providing affordable vendor spaces and much-needed community support. At the pop-up, you can find a variety of goodies, including plants, candles, apparel, baked goods, and more.

3. El Valle Pop-Ups

Where: 6300 Balboa Blvd., Encino, CA 91406
When: Dates vary, noon-4 p.m.

You might not be going to Lake Balboa to get shopping done, but keep an eye out for El Valle Pop-Ups near the Balboa Boulevard entrance for hand-crafted goods, houseplants, and more. You can also grab a treat from one of several food vendors before you pedal out to the lake on one of the park’s signature swan boats.

4. San Fernando Outdoor Market

Where: 911 San Fernando Road, San Fernando, CA 91340
When: Fourth Saturday of the month, 5-9 p.m.

If you’re looking to escape the Valley heat but still want to show small businesses love, head over to the San Fernando Outdoor Market. Taking over the block between Brand Boulevard and Maclay Avenue, the Valley’s namesake city comes alive on the fourth Saturday of every month, with over 80 vendors and storefronts combined and a classic car showcase as well as live performances and a makeshift dance floor.

5. Block Party Flea Market

Where: Saticoy Street and Louise Avenue
When: Dates vary, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

Another place you can find an amazing community experience for free? The plaza that’s home to Valley staples like Needle Pushers, Galaxy of Comics, and Rose Garden Barbershop. Each event intentionally offers something a little different, but you can expect a few things every time, says the event’s Instagram bio: to “Shop local artists. Catch a groove. Make connections.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtgYtxvLOu/

6. Teapop Art Market

Where: 5050 Vineland Ave., North Hollywood, CA 91601
When: First weekend of every month; October-June, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; July-September, 3-8 p.m. 

This tea and coffee shop (truly a neighborhood favorite) does it all: trivia, paint nights, and a monthly art market.  While Teapop already features a rotation of budding artists’ pieces each month, they’re providing even more opportunities for other artists and artisans to showcase their work on a monthly basis.

7. Makers Market Chatsworth

Where: Locations vary
When: Dates vary

As its name gives away, this market is in the west Valley neighborhood of Chatsworth. There are always different vendors there, so you’ll find pretty much anything you can think of—and probably some stuff you wouldn’t even have dreamed. Make sure to check their Instagram to know when and where the market’s happening.

8. Wallflower Market LA

Where: Locations vary
When: Dates vary

Local shopping for charity? Say less. Taking advantage of The 513’s al-fresco dining space in the heart of the NoHo Arts District, this woman-founded pop-up shop offers themed photoshoots for your furry friend, plant vendors, jewelry vendors, and more. Even better, a percentage of all vendor sales goes to a different progressive cause each month.

9. 818 Pop-Up Shop

Where: Locations vary
When: Dates vary

A Latina-owned and operated business, 818 Pop-Up Shop is the self-proclaimed original pop-up in the San Fernando Valley. Its mission is simple: support local small businesses! Through Great Gatsby-themed New Year’s parties and Halloween spook-taculars, Genevieve Marie — the market’s founder — keeps the joy in her community.

10. Main Street Canoga Park Farmers Market

Where: 7247 Owensmouth Ave., Canoga Park, CA 91303
When: Every Saturday, 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

You might be thinking that because its name features the terms “farmers” and “market” you can only get produce at this event. But you’d be mistaken! You can also get fresh flowers, like those photographed below, tamales, and even crafted items. Even if you’re East Valley-based, the Main Street Canoga Park Farmers Market is well worth the trek.

If your vinyl collection could use more Misfits, Thelonious Monk, Maná, or Mötorhead (and everything in between), then make your way over to the Valley’s namesake town. The city of San Fernando has scored The Midnight Hour, a cool new mom-and-pop record shop that debuted in the 818 back in September. That’s not all: Its owners are bringing their curation of music to West Covina, where their second L.A.-area outpost officially opened March 31.

Located on low-key North Maclay Avenue, the boutique stocks new and used vinyl, cassettes, handmade gifts, and more. Expect to find albums and rare international pressings in nearly every format across every music category and subgenre, including funk, garage rock, grunge, hardcore, hip-hop, Latin, metal, New Wave, psychobilly, rap, soul, and beyond. You’ll also find “mom and dad jams” (rather, grandma and grandpa tunes?) from classic rock acts like Fleetwood Mac and Alabama (to name a few) alongside original mixtapes.

Mark your calendars for the San Fernando Outdoor Market this Saturday, March 27, from 1-6 p.m., where you’ll find artisanal cookies, custom jewelry, handcrafted gifts, 818 apparel, and more.

While you’re at it, mark it for 1-6 p.m. every fourth Saturday of the month — when San Fernando Road will be closed from Brand Boulevard to Maclay Avenue for the outdoor market. Free parking will be available on Celis and Truman streets and, of course, masks are required.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-GPjuhCGx/

This event was spearheaded by Joelene Medina and Christina Bernal, who both run businesses in Downtown San Fernando and are part of the Downtown San Fernando Mall Association. 

Medina was adamant that they couldn’t have done it alone.

“Within the mall association is a hardworking group of other local business owners,” she said. 

The first-ever San Fernando Outdoor market, which took place on Feb. 27, featured 10 artisanal vendor booths, a DJ, and a Truman House Tavern beer garden. The duo put that event together in two weeks. 

Medina and Bernal said that they’ve had “overwhelming support” ever since. The March 27 event has already doubled in size.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-HGjXBwqr/

Bernal, the general manager at vintage shop Throwback Junction and president of the Downtown San Fernando Mall Association, said that “Downtown San Fernando is the destination for coming to celebrate — piñatas, quince dresses, etc. It’s nice to have people walking the strip again.”

Medina, who is the co-owner of Truman House Tavern and also half of the reason that we have the Granada Hills food trucks on Fridays, is excited to support small businesses in the Valley. 

The pair agreed that their goal should be to help the small businesses in San Fernando without harming the brick and mortar shops on the strip. For this reason, they don’t allow creators to sell anything that the brick and mortar stores sell.

David Aguirre, the mastermind behind PINetration®, designs merchandise “para la raza.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCG9KYJqMT/

Five years ago, Aguirre wanted a Cantinflas pin to gift to a friend. He scoured the Internet and asked around the pin community. Nothing, which was particularly odd considering that Cantinflas is a legendary Mexican actor and comic.

Instead of resigning himself to not giving his friend a Cantinflas pin, Aguirre was inspired to make his own. This was the start of his career in enamel pin-making.

He continued being a key player in the pin game (which is a lot more competitive than one might think, according to Aguirre) and was eventually contacted for pin design by two famous Valley kids, Danny Trejo and George Lopez.

Aguirre and George Lopez connected via Instagram, the designer said.

“After [we connected], he asked me to make a pin for his restaurant and he had a design for it,” Aguirre recalled. “It was one of his face in black and white, with the word “chingon” that made up his hair.

“He was happy about the finished product. He went on to say, ‘Those are f*cking great!’ George has been a super humble guy with me, which [I think is] the 818 respect,” Aguirre said, ending his email response with a “:).”

Lopez wasn’t wrong in the slightest by saying that the pin was great — take a look for yourself.

Down the road, Lopez would ask Aguirre for 100 of his Keep Families Together pin. The pin shows “an American flag [whose] stripes…represent bars from a jail, with adult red hands being separated from smaller hands representing a child’s hand,” Aguirre shared.

Aguirre’s relationship with Danny Trejo, a Valley kid from Pacoima, came about after Aguirre made a portrait of Trejo that gained popularity. He heard from Trejo’s assistant after the release and immediately thought the worst.

“I was like, ‘Oh, man… here come the lawyers,'” Aguirre remembered, but it turned out Trejo loved the design and wanted to buy pins. “Buy some!? He can have as many as he wants!”

Appeased by Aguirre’s talent (and perhaps also his Valley roots), Trejo asked Aguirre to make pins for the opening of Trejo’s Doughnuts.

Via video chat in November 2020, as he sat in his San Fernando home, Aguirre recalled being teased about his Valley roots — the same roots that landed him gigs with George Lopez and Danny Trejo.

“When I tell people I live in San Fernando, everyone’s like, ‘Where’s that at again?,'” he joked. “And I’m like, that’s the heart of the Valley — that’s why it’s called the San Fernando Valley.”

This fact may have influenced one of my personal favorite pieces from PINetration®, peep the 818 atop the street sign.

Aguirre, a northeast Valley-based artist, has never stopped making waves. Most recently, he launched a pin that has come to be known as “tío Bernie.”

He originally released this pin on Feb. 12 and it sold out in two hours, in what Aguirre noted was “one of the fastest [pins] to sell out.”

“The tío Bernie pin was an unexpected hit,” Aguirre revealed. “I drew it out and thought I’d only make a handful because people weren’t going to be into it. Next thing you know, I have a super high demand for it. The first run of it sold out in two hours and then I had tons of people emailing me about it.”

Aguirre told himself he’d make a second run as a presale — how ever many orders he had for it would be the amount of pins he made. That’s it.

He capped preorder at 100. Ninety pins sold in two hours. By the next morning, Aguirre said, “all 100 were gone. I’m still having people ask for it, but I want it to be a unique pin. The few that got it were the lucky ones.”

2. Indoor Wilderness LA, Panorama City

It doesn’t matter what anyone says, Indoor Wilderness LA will always be the original eucalyptus plug. When we first got into putting the plant in our shower as aromatherapy (because the steam releases the eucalyptus’s scent), Indoor Wilderness LA was one of the only shops that carried it. Don’t worry, though: Indoor Wilderness LA sells more than just eucalyptus!
