History

Established in 1963.

In 1937, William and Mary Bonelli purchased a ranch, which through the years hosted rodeos and car races. The property, now known as the Saugus Speedway, is owned by the Bonelli grandchildren. Three times each week, they host a thriving Swap Meet that started 50 years ago. They are proud to note that some of their current Vendors have been with them throughout the decades that the market has been open. Many loyal shoppers show up each week to find a treasure that is old or discover what is new.

Meet the Business Owner

William B.

Business Owner

William Bonelli was born in Kingman, Arizona in 1895, and moved to Los Angeles in 1912. He entered the University of Southern California and received his bachelor of arts degree in 1916, served in the Aviation Section of the U.S. Army in 1918 – 19, and remained in the Reserve as a pilot until 1934.

He obtained his master of arts degree from Occidental College in 1923 and his law degree from Southwestern Law School in 1924; he was admitted to the California Bar in 1925.

He was a large promoter of the Southern California aircraft industry and the Santa Clarita Valley. He purchased Hoot Gibson’s rodeo venue in 1937 in Saugus, California and ran rodeos until in 1939. Bonelli Ranch Stadium hosted a myriad of events, showcasing midget cars and hot rods. In 1954, the surface was paved and the name changed to Saugus Speedway.

In 1963, the first swap meet was held and continues today with markets every Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday.

My family and I attend almost every Sunday. It’s a great way to spend time our weekend. Walking around looking for good deals with a beer in hand and enjoying family time. My son loves the horses that are there available for riding.

I haven’t been to a swap meet since I was a child. Our friends invited us and it sounded like a fun Saturday adventure. So off we went.
It easy to find off the 5 freeway, just get off at the magic mountain exit and then go the opposite way of the amusement park. There is plenty of parking.
The swap meet has an eclectic variety of goods. I would say the majority is gently used, but there are some vendors as well. We found some amazing hotel sheets that were a good price. My daughter loved the jewelry. There was several vendors with great homemade pieces as well as more store bought type jewelry. Also there are lots of fun little toy vendors for your kids to explore that have very inexpensive fun toys.
There was a great blues/​rock band playing. They were playing for most of the day we were there. They did covers of great songs from Johnny Cash, The Doors and more. We were very impressed by them. It was nice to listen to them as we walked and watch them play while we ate. The stage is situated near the tables.
The food options are the normal culprits such as churros, kettle corn, etc. Also fruit cups, I am talking big cups of freshly diced fruit with chamoy and hot sauce from Cunchy’s food truck. They have a few locations set up. There are also several other food trucks to choose from. We ate lunch at El Diablo. Seriously one of thee best burgers I’ve ever had and the rest of my party agreed. Just amazingly good from the bun, to the meat, to the homemade pickled jalapeños on the side. I would come back just to find that food truck again.
Definitely a nice way to get out and walk, find some fun stuff and eat some good food while listening to a talented band. Yeah we will be back.

I’m grading this place, zero very extremely difficult to sell things at the swap meet, I got ripped off for all of my items that I sold I sold them for underneath the price of what they were worth just so I wouldn’t have to load them back in my car I gave all my stuff away!!! By selling it dirt cheap just so I won’t have to pack it back in my car!!! I will never sell anything at the swap meet ever again it’s a waste of my time and energy!!!

I’ve lived in SCV my whole life and been coming here about just as long.
This is a nice swap meet that’s got a bunch of antiques, cheap gadgets, junk, and household products. You never know when you’ll stumble upon something you didn’t even know you were looking for.
Check in on Unilocal for free entry!

Great! You can find anything here even beer! The restrooms are the nicest and always kept clean compared to any other swap meet out here that I’ve been to. Staff is super nice and attentive.

I bought and sold here for years. As a collector, some weekends nothing but every so often a score. I came to realize how much I missed this swapmeet once I moved out of town and tried some others. Worth going, will not find something every time but great scores do come through there

I haven’t been to a swap meet in quite some time. SCSW brought back memories of my childhood and teen years, when my family used to visit the Armada flea market in Michigan.
I believe this swap meet has something for everyone! It’s an outdoor meet, with ample parking. Vendors sell everything from brand new items to vintage, even yard sale type items. You can find fresh fruit and vegetables, plants for sale, beer, and snacks, as well.
I found the vendors to be pleasant overall. Most didn’t seem to mind a bit of haggling, which makes it fun for me. A few were firm on their prices, though, and that’s okay too.
The atmosphere was fun and festive. A live band was playing, but they were off to one side, and didn’t drown out the conversation. I’d recommend this swap meet!

I came here yesterday 11÷29÷15. Came here just to buy socks but then again, WHO DOES THAT?.. Life just wanted me to spend money. As I walked trough the hundreds of vendors I was able to find so many great deals. I found items from modern to vintage (WW2). I honestly would have soend more but only brought a few hundred dollar bills. I was able to get some socks, some sports memorabilia, WW2 United States Marine Corps gear, and some furniture for my new apartment. I will be coming again soon because hey, who doesn’t like soending money. I love buying new items at retail stores but hey, the cheaper the better as long as it is in great condition. I recommend you get here early because seems to me the earlier you get here the better merchandis they have!

One of the last real swapmeets like I enjoyed when I was a kid. Antiques, junk, and treasures to be found. Many times I have stumbled on some amazing things for a bargain. The people watching is pretty interesting too… :0

I love high end malls, don’t get me wrong, but the SCSM is one of the last real swap meets for miles. I love the variety and never knowing what you will find.
From antiques to $ 1 t-​shirts, it’s always different and the music ain’t bad either. If you can stand the heat, give it a try!

I like this place, I have been coming here since 1988. the only thing that is bugging me is the proliferation of Food Trucks. What happened to the food court?

I love this place it has very unique and interesting items. But every day is different some days are better than others. I have found some very historical vintage stuff here same time they have new items as well. Sundays is the most packed Saturday is the little different Tuesdays. But Tuesday people are different then Sunday people so you get to experience different vendors. They have furniture’s clothes decoration plans food…

Stories unfurled about this place during my past Summers habit of attending the San Fernando Swap Meet. According to several locals, proximity was the only place my spot had to offer and Saugus Swap meet, which everyone calls it, was where it’s at. I’d been there before as a hungover teen due to circumstance, but I didn’t remember being blown away. So, on Sunday, I was ready for the big update and quirky do dads.
Apparently several alcohol stands is an «amazing» qualifier. Other than that and more white people and white music, it’s the same thing. Okay, so we’ve got some stands that sell books but if you comb through every line of the far larger SF swap meet, you’ll find them there too. It was a bit of a let down. But if you want to go out for the day and have some drinks and listen to some good old rock in a nicer area than North East Valley, take a ride over. It’s still a good time. :)

Hot! Drink or bring plenty of water. They had Lots of great things to see and buy. There’s plenty of antiques and some new items. Loved looking at the past when «sailor moon «and the spice girls were popular. They also sell fruits and vegetables. Lots of snacks offered and great music. Treated the kids to a nice cold snow cone on a hot Sunday morning.

I remember coming here when I was little so visiting as an adult was sort of nostalgic for me. There are so many things to love about the SCV swap meat. Of all the swap meats I’ve visited, this one totally beats all others. The vendors here are surprisingly professional and the keep the grounds pretty organized. Admission fees are very minimal and if you check in here on Unilocal,you can get in for free.
During my most recent visit, we were able to find some very cool antique gems such as vintage roller skates and jukeboxes. My family lives about 30 minutes south of here and I live about 30 minutes north so it is a nice medium place to meet for a day with the family.
As I said before, this place is well organized. Unlike other swap meats, they hold pretty high standards for maintaining the grounds and the bathrooms are pretty royal for where you are.
You’ll see a lot of the same vendors if you visit frequently and will find new goodies every time. They have live music most days and mist lines when it’s hot-​hot coca when it’s cold.
If you’re the kind of person that likes to make a date with the family on the weekends, check this place out. Everyone can get a little something for pennies and have a good time. It’s worth a look.

This is a fun place to go to search for art related found objects, as my husband needs to do from time to time. For 1.50 you get to see all sorts of sellers and have foods and shaved ice. Even beer!
We got an old skateboard for a painting, some great hair bows and flowers, some childrens’ books, jewelry, silver service items, as I needed a cake frosting knife, and we got figurines and toys for the grandchildren too.
It is more varied a vendor crowd than other flea markets with a few antique type tables. You can get iPhone charge cords, furniture, plants, clothes of all sorts, and use your imagination. They got a mariachi band today for cinco de mayo too.
Liked it: will probably try again to support the art projects!
