Shipshewana Antique Market
Next Market: Saturday, August 2, 2008 - 7am - 4pm

The Antique Market began at the Trading Place Antique Gallery in 2002, and was adopted the following year by the Shipshewana Retail Merchants Association, expanding it into a town-wide festival. This year we expect over 150 vendors to set up in the grassy areas, under the big top, and around the winding sidewalks, with 100 vendors set up inside the Gallery.

The Antique Market emphasizes top quality antiques, requiring all antiques to be pre-1960, and reproductions are not allowed. It’s an understatement to say the Antique Gallery knows its antiques. Gallery manager, Chuck Haarer, is also the manager of the Shipshewana Miscellaneous and Antique Auction, held every Wednesday, year round, on the grounds of the Shipshewana Flea Market. The weekly auction draws vendors and buyers from across the country, and has up to 10 auction rings selling at one time.

A drawing will be held around 2pm for gift certificates in the amounts of $200, $100, & $50, and winners must be present at the time of the drawing. Food will be available on the Gallery grounds. There is no admission charge for either the Antique Market or the town-wide Antique Festival. The Gallery is just two blocks south of the historic downtown shopping area, which will host events and specials all day long. Bring the entire family for a fun day of antiquing, eating, and festivities! According to Elsie Nibbe, who helps organize the event, “Every year it gets bigger, better and more fun!”
