Huntsville Antique & Vintage Show is here

Sep. 18—The 21st annual Huntsville Antique & Vintage Show is happening this weekend in Huntsville. The event is all indoors, in climate control of the Walker County Fairgrounds.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, and from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Admission of $7 per person is good for both days. Kids 12 and under free with adult admission.

Kay King, the show organizer, said, "As the markets change we are excited to include vintage to our show. There are always a lot of neat things to see and buy at the show."

King said the concession stand will feature a variety of treats and parking is free.

"We had record attendance last year," King said. "Over 75 antique vendors from across the country are expected to attend the event offering a wide variety of unique finds. Our dealers are small businesses that bring high quality merchandise and love what they do."

The event offers an opportunity to support small businesses to shop for that special something in the comfort of the air conditioned, main building at the Walker County Fairgrounds.

"Beat the heat if it's hot or keep dry if it rains. A few of our local dealers are Huntsville Junkers, Sandy Creek Mercantile, and Luanna's. We have vendors from as far away as North Dakota and many other areas of Texas," King said.

Some of the items visitors can expect to find at the show are home décor, unique furnishings, re-finished/repurposed furniture, turquoise jewelry, collectibles, memorabilia, estate jewelry, vintage, antique tools, quilts, glassware, typewriter key jewelry, farmhouse, primitives, antique clocks, floral décor, pottery, turquoise, vintage clothing, and more.

"No matter what your budget, you will be able to find something great at the show," King said. "The show attracts many visitors from out of town and brings increased business to Huntsville. The event has grown substantially over the years and has become one of the premier antique shows in the state of Texas."

Organizers encourage tourists to make a weekend of it and spend some time in historic Huntsville visiting the local attractions, businesses and the downtown area.

"We hope people will fall in love with Huntsville and what it has to offer and make it an annual tradition of attending the show and spending some quality time in our quaint town," King said. "A little history on the show."

The original show was owned and operated by Frederic Morris until 2017 when current show promoter Kay King took ownership and continued the tradition of the annual Huntsville Antique Show and the spring Rusty Chippy Show. After a couple of years, King added the Huntsville Holiday Market for a line up of three annual shows.

"We work hand in hand with the City of Huntsville Tourism Department and the Huntsville Downtown Business Alliance. Small businesses supporting other small businesses," King said.
