The Burlington Antique Show, the Midwest’s premier antique market, is back for the season. While they generally start things in May, because of COVID-19 the season kick-off has been pushed back until June.
The show, featuring more than 200 dealers offering the best antiques and vintage collectibles, returns to the Boone County Fairgrounds on June 21, Father’s Day.
Expect to hunt through authentic wares — Midcentury Modern, Art Deco, pre-war, Industrial and more — every third Sunday of the month through October. (The last show is Oct. 18.)
It’s generally pretty crowded, so if you’re a real hunter, aim for early-bird admission ($6; 6-8 a.m.) The show lasts until 3 p.m. General admission is $4.
The Boone County Fairgrounds are located at 5819 Idlewild Road, Burlington, Kentucky. More info burlingtonantiqueshow.com.
