The Croatian Cultural Center in Vancouver is the hub of two antique markets held on selected Sundays almost every month of the year: the Retro Design & Antiques Fair and the 21st Century Flea Market. The former takes place only four times a year, the latter up to six times a year. Dates vary, so keep in touch with the organisers to make sure you can make it to at least one of them. Each event is a collector's dream come true!
For those with a serious interest in antiques, the Retro Design & Antiques Fair is a must. This fantastic market is all about vintage quality and visitors cannot help but take a stroll down memory lane as they browse through the fantastic items for sale. With so many vendors, the collections always promise to be eclectic. Whether you are looking for a unique piece to decorate your home or that elusive item for your collection, you are sure to leave satisfied. The dealers are welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about their items and antiques in general, so interesting conversations are guaranteed.
The large number of vendors at the Retro Design & Antiques Fair means there's something to suit everyone's taste and budget. Visitors will find vintage and estate jewelry, pop culture classics, dolls and vintage toys, pottery and glassware, 50's kitsch, paintings and prints, antique books, advertising memorabilia and other Americana, lighting fixtures, linens and more.
On the other hand, visitors to the 21st Century Flea Market will find a slightly broader range of items for sale, as a different set of vendors are attracted to this event. With 175 different vendors selling everything from shabby chic to 50s kitsch, collectibles and memorabilia, vinyl records, kitchenware, tools, Christmas decorations, china, tins and silverware, this popular European-style collector's market is a must-see. It is a great market for anyone starting a collection or anyone who enjoys shopping!
