It’s hard to believe, but the Round Top Spring Antiques Show is practically right around the corner. Everything kicks off on March 18 and runs through April 4.
It is definitely not too early to start planning for a Spring Show visit. Round Top area hotel, inn and bed & breakfast reservations fill up quickly. Even restaurant reservations are often snatched up well in advance of the Spring Antiques show.
Here is an early preview of what’s coming in the Round Top Spring Antiques Show.
New Antique Centers
The new show brings some exciting new venues, too.
BOX ROAD’s new spot in Warrenton has been much anticipated since it was first revealed that the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based antique dealers would be opening a new location in Texas. BOX ROAD is taking over a renovated 1930s home near Excess Field.
Specializing in both antique and modern furniture design, Michael Ouellette and Donnie Volkart’s careful curated selections come from around the world. And it will be available during the Round Top Spring Antiques Show .
Another anticipated new opening is Drift & Holler’s venue in Round Top. Drift & Holler’s digs can be found on Hwy 237, less than two minutes away from the square in Round Top. This field will be home to a variety of vendors, with new finds all but guaranteed.
Drift & Holler will also eventually have 10 luxury teepees on site for visitors to stay in. These are expected to be completed sometime in March.
