Soul Real Market Comes to San Diego

Some cool finds from Soul Real Market!

Are you looking for an aesthetic and lively market to hang out with friends? Get that plan out of the group chats and head to Soul Real Market for a guaranteed positive experience filled with live DJs, cute booths, and delicious food! Soul Real Market is a flea market organization based in Southern California with vendors selling items ranging from vintage clothing to cute and random knick-knacks. No matter what kind of things you are into, this market ensures something for everyone to enjoy. 

 Soul Real Market recently hosted a vibrant and engaging event in San Diego in January, commemorating the start of the new year with immense enthusiasm. The event showcased an exceptional array of over 75 booths, each offering a diverse range of products, services, and experiences. 

The view of the clothing racks!

Many of the booths sold vintage clothing, typically hand-picked by the vendors themselves, and each selection had its unique touch, whether it be style or article. However, as many attendees were students ranging from high school to college, many would wonder if the pieces were affordable. To our surprise, many vendors sold pieces ranging from 5 to 30 dollars, although there were higher-end items on the more expensive side. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that many of the vendors were willing to give discounts if you were to buy more than one article of clothing from their booth, so don’t be afraid to ask

around!

Artwork for sale!

As for those who love little trinkets, many booths were selling handmade stickers, stuffed animals, and knitted goodies. Little collectible figures called “Sonny Angels” were also highly in demand, with almost every row of booths having at least one related to them. There were even trading areas if you pulled a design that was not to your taste. After seeing their massive popularity, the other writers and I tried our luck in getting the angel baby of our dreams, however, we did not prevail. 

From savory food delicacies to handcrafted arts and vintage clothing, Soul Real Market brought together a tapestry of experiences that celebrated the spirit of the new year and the San Diego community. Ultimately, this exceptional flea market provided a platform for local businesses to showcase their talents and offerings. The event's success was measured by the multitude of booths and the sense of camaraderie and celebration that permeated the gathering. Attendees were able to engage with passionate vendors, discover new products, indulge in delicious treats, and immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry that San Diego has to offer. 

Jewelry vendors too!
