The PCC Flea Market started in 1977 when the Associated Student rummage sale moved from the football field to one of the college parking lots. The Market is held the first Sunday of every month (except January) and offers a variety of items from antiques to clothing to Hollywood memorabilia. An Academy Award Oscar, missing for more than 30 years, was once discovered at the Flea Market.

The help and organizational skills of dozens of people in the PCC community generate hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the office of student activities for scholarships.

The next PCC Flea Market will be held this Sunday, May 5th - see you all there!
