What to Expect on Friday Night
A Wide Variety of Vendors
Our vendors offer a constantly changing mix of merchandise, which means every visit can be different.
You may find:
New and used merchandise
Clothing and accessories
Tools and household items
Collectibles and unique finds
Fresh produce
Food and refreshments
And much more
Because vendors and merchandise change from week to week, you never know what you may discover.
Food and Refreshments
Take a break from shopping and grab something to eat or drink from one of the food vendors operating at the market.
A Relaxed Friday Night Atmosphere
Friday Night is a great time to walk the market, meet local vendors, browse for bargains, and enjoy the cooler evening hours compared with many daytime market days.
Why Visit the Friday Night Market?
Support Local Vendors
Shopping at the Kern County Swap Meet helps support independent sellers, families, entrepreneurs, and small businesses from throughout the area.
Find Something Different
One of the best parts of a swap meet is that you are not shopping through the same merchandise you see in traditional stores.
Vendors bring a wide variety of items, including merchandise that may be difficult to find elsewhere.
Spend the Evening with Family and Friends
Friday Night can be an enjoyable and affordable way to get out of the house, walk around, shop, eat, and spend some time together.
Tips for Your Visit
Arrive Early
Arriving earlier in the evening gives you more time to browse the market and see what the vendors have available.
Bring Cash
Some vendors may accept cards or electronic payments, but cash is still commonly used.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
The Swap Meet covers a large area, so comfortable shoes are always a good idea.
Check the Weather
The Kern County Swap Meet is primarily outdoors, so dress appropriately for the weather.
