See top antique shows in Texas for fall, winter & spring ’22-’23.
Did you know that the Lone Star State is the most popular antique and vintage flea market destination in the United States? I did not, but from the looks of all these antique shows in Texas I found, I believe it to be true! Fall antique shows in small towns are my favorite. It’s where I get inspiration for home decor for my home.
Whatever you call them – antique shows, vintage markets, flea markets, or a big ass yard sale (for those who think antiques are junk), it’s some of the best shopping for a home, garden, and that certain collection you may or may not have .started …yet. My mom told me a long time ago that once you have three of one thing, it’s a collection.
I do love other people’s junk – don’t you?

Top Antique Shows In Texas
If you’ve ever been to an estate sale and found unique antiques, estate jewelry, or anything out of the ordinary, that’s what you might find when attending antique shows. Some cost to enter, but some do not. But one thing is for sure, you’ll want to wear comfy shoes and bring the largest vehicle you can find because you don’t know what all you’ll find. Plus, it’s not all antiques at these markets. Some antique dealers invest in new items that go with antiques and vintage decor. I often buy non-vintage items to go with a piece I already have at home.
Top Antique Shows In Texas And Monthly Trade Days Show Dates
Whether you’re looking for antique furniture, vintage clothing, fine antiques, folk art paintings, or the start of a collection, you’re sure to find it at one of these antique shows. These types of shows are small businesses that I like to support. In my experience, some are owned by retired couples, women-owned businesses, and lots of people who love doing antiquing as a hobby. I would rather spend my dollars with them than at large department stores. I’ve always been that way.
We all know Round Top (aka Texas Antique Weekend, Texas Antique Show) hits the top of the list for the best antique show in Texas. Yet, some of us have never been to this show stopper. Let’s dive into the fall shows.
September 2022 Antique Shows In Texas

2. Fredericksburg Trade Days
September 16-18, 2022. Year-round Market.
On the third weekend of most months at the Fredericksburg Trade Days, antique vendors, local vendors, and vendors from out of town bring their wares to this outdoor market. There are also buildings full of vendors. This show is one of my favorites. I have stuffed an SUV full of old and new stuff – twice!
Lots of food vendors and live music in the Biergarten (an indoor beer hall). The last time I was there, I saw someone offering mechanical bull rides. I did not partake!
Located on Hwy 290 across from Wildseed Farms. If wine is your thing, plenty of wineries on Hwy 290 offers excellent wine tastings.
Admission: None. $5 to park and good for the weekend.
3. Third Monday McKinney Trade Days
September 16-18, 2022. Year-round Market.
This trade show, vintage market, or whatever you want to call it, got new owners and a new name a couple of years ago. The Third Monday Trade Days in McKinney (as most still know it) is now called Third Monday McKinney Trade Days. It’s located in the same spot at the same time and probably with the same market vendors and craft vendors. I haven’t been since the change.
Third Monday McKinney Trade Days are open the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before the third Monday of the month. Don’t get that confused!
Admission: None. Parking is free on Fridays and $5 on Saturday and Sunday until 4 pm.

October 2022 Antique Shows In Texas
1. The Round Top Antiques Show

Antique Weekend in Warrenton, TX
Three times a year, the winter show, fall show & spring show brings out the best of antiques in Round Top, Texas, and people from all over Texas and beyond come out to see if they can find that one special piece they’ve wanted for their collection – it’s a treasure hunt for sure.
The Original Round Top Antiques Fair started over 50 years ago and was only twice a year forever. Now, I see they’ve added a winter antique show.
The Round Top Antiques Show has over 65 venues within a 20-mile radius in Round Top, Warrenton, Carmine, Burton, and Fayetteville communities. They also have antique stores within Round Top.
Round Top itself is 119,000 square feet and has three separate buildings. You’ll find many all kinds of antiques, vintage items, and high-end antiques here.
2. Cole’s Antique Show – Round Top

Quoted – Cole’s Antique Show is the largest indoor venue in the Roundtop Area Antique Show, with the finest quality antiques, art, and jewelry collections in Texas. Small Dogs are allowed inside the Big Red Barn as long as they can be held the entire time. Due to the crowds inside the iconic big red barn, leashed and large animals are NOT permitted, as they are a trip hazard.
Admission: Varies at each venue. Some are $5 for parking, others don’t charge.
