Embracing the grandeur of the Lone Star State, Texas Antique Weekend is a spectacular event that stands out as a premier destination for antique enthusiasts and collectors. Located midway between Houston and Austin along Highway 237, this colossal flea market sprawls over 30 acres and attracts more than 100,000 visitors several times a year. Despite its name, each edition of the Texas Antique Weekend extends well beyond a weekend, with the spring edition spanning several weeks.
Ranked as one of the top 20 flea markets in the United States, Texas Antique Weekend is not your average flea market. It brings together a variety of venues around the Round Top (Marburger Farm Antique Show) and Warrenton communities in Fayette County, Texas, including areas such as Carmine (Round Top Antiques Fair), Burton, Oldenburg, Shelby, and Fayetteville. The event is a confluence of antique shows, collectibles expos, home décor showcases and fashion events held in barns, halls, tents and open fields.
A harmonious blend of independent show promoters and local entrepreneurs create a dynamic platform for over 2,000 vendors and dealers who converge from across the country to showcase an eclectic mix of items. Visitors can explore booths overflowing with Majolica ceramics, mid-century holiday decorations, vintage chairs, glassware, china, crockery, silverware, trinkets, chandeliers, lamps, light fixtures, vintage clothing & accessories, linen, rugs, ranch oak furniture and a host of other treasures.
The sheer variety of items available ensures that Texas Antique Weekend has something for everyone, whether you're looking for high-end antiques or unique knickknacks. The expansive layout and wide range of offerings make each visit to this market an adventure that requires thorough exploration and discovery.
Because of its immense size and diverse offerings, the Texas Antique Weekend is not an event for a casual stroll. It invites visitors to immerse themselves in the experience, whether they are seasoned collectors or casual thrifters. The bi-annual schedule provides ample opportunity for visitors to plan a shopping vacation and fully immerse themselves in the treasures that await.
The Texas Antique Weekend epitomizes the saying "everything is bigger in Texas". It offers a rich and diverse shopping experience that brings together a vast array of antiques, collectibles and crafts. Whether you are looking for rare artifacts, vintage fashions, or charming trinkets, this market promises a rewarding adventure amidst the scenic landscapes of rural Texas.

13th July 2015 at 05:19If you are looking for Antique furniture from Europe or even the US, you need to go there. You can also find replica from Vietnam, Sweden or else.
If you need pottery , metal signs or sculptures, wood platters, lamps, chairs, sofas, fabric, rugs you name it, that’s also the place to go.
My advice, you will need several days to see everything because it is huge. And go there the week before the dates, most of the vendors are already there except for 2 venues if I remember correctly, Red Barn and an other big one. If you can’t go that week , go on week days otherwise prepare yourself for thousands of people and traffic jam.
