The Flying Miz Daisy Vintage Market, known for its beautifully curated collection of vintage, antiques, and home and garden treasures, is excited to announce a new location for its highly anticipated spring event.

The upcoming market will now be held Saturday, May 23, at Avenue of the Flags in Buellton from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission will be free.

After years of hosting successful events in Solvang that drew thousands of visitors from across the Central Coast and beyond, Flying Miz Daisy is entering a new chapter in partnership with the City of Buellton.

“We’re incredibly excited about this move,” says founder Char Goetz. “The City of Buellton has been so welcoming and enthusiastic about our market. It’s important to us to be in a location that truly values small businesses, our vendors, and the community we’ve built together.”

Flying Miz Daisy Vintage Market has become a destination event, known for its thoughtfully curated vendors offering European antiques, vintage finds, handmade goods, and inspired home décor. The market has consistently contributed to local economic activity, drawing large crowds who shop, dine, and explore surrounding businesses.

The move comes following a shift in direction from the City of Solvang regarding vendor business license fee waivers, which significantly impacts the small businesses at the heart of the market. Organizers felt it was essential to relocate to a city that aligns with their mission of supporting independent vendors and fostering a thriving small business community.

The new Buellton location offers excellent visibility and accessibility, situated just off Highway 101 — making it easier than ever for visitors to attend.

“This is a fresh and exciting chapter,” Goetz adds. “We’re bringing the same beautiful market experience people love — just in a location where that experience is fully supported and encouraged.”

The Flying Miz Daisy market is not you're typical "swap meet" or "flea market." While some of the vendors deal in straight antiques, many handcraft their products out of repurposed materials, whether it be furniture, home decor, jewelry, or clothing.

Goetz started the outdoor market, originally called Driving Miz Daisy, approximately 12 years ago in Orange County.

"I was an antique dealer for quite a number of years, maybe 15 or so, and my kids were growing up, and I decided, you know, Orange County could use a really cool winter market," Goetz said during the Flying Miz Daisy Market in 2024. "Since I was shopping at them all the time, I thought I could do it in a different way. I wanted to bring in the whole community where kids and all different ages just want to spend the day.

Attendees can expect a vibrant outdoor market featuring a wide variety of vendors, a welcoming community atmosphere, and a day filled with discovery and inspiration.
