Sky Village Swap Meet
If you chance your visit to Joshua Tree on the weekend, then you absolutely cannot miss the chance to score a bargain at the local Saturday swap meet. Prices are low and there are hidden treasures among the trash, so long as you’ve got the patience to pursue a bargain and arrive before the heat of the day! We recommend arriving around 6:30 am to get the best bargains and be finished before the sun starts to set in.
