Summer means cookouts, crafting, digging into a beach read, and hopefully a fun getaway or two. If you dream of pairing travel with a side of thrifting, have we got the list for you. And of course, if one of these epic antique shopping extravaganzas happens to be in your neck of the woods, all the more reason to flex those secondhand shopping muscles while the days are long.
From seemingly never-ending rows of white tents brimming with can’t-miss treasures to old barns overflowing with sought-after finds, these are the antiques fairs, shows, flea markets, and multi-town yard sales that deserve a coveted spot on your summer bucket list. While you’re at it, go ahead and buy your tickets to the Country Living Fair, held October 2 to 4 at the Duchess Country Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, New York.
