Everything to Know About the Spring Round Top Antiques Show
The treasure hunting fun is back — and there are plenty of worthy spots to hit.
Blue Hills is ready to welcome antique hunters back.
The Spring Round Top Antiques Show and all the activities around it were abruptly cancelled last year. In fact, you could say COVID effectively cancelled spring itself. But the Spring Round Top Antiques Show is back for 2021 and ready to delight.
This antiques bonanza has always been something of a socially distanced event — before anyone ever heard of the term. It meanders through fields, tents, halls and several small towns in the Texas countryside. Its return is only upping the excitement. Things kick off on March 18 and last through April 4.
Now, let’s take a look at the venues you need to know to navigate the sprawling show. We’ll start in the town of Burton.

Blue Hills
Spread across 25 acres, Blue Hills boasts 80,000 square feet of shopping space and hosts more than 50 curated vendors. This spring, Blue Hills’ brother and sister owners Stephanie Disney and Corey Layne are bringing food trucks along with the barbecue cooked on site.
Better yet, Blue Hills’ Blue Barn is now fully enclosed.

The Halles
The Halles, Round Top’s reimagined events venue (which took over the space which formerly housed The Boneyard at Round Top) at 1465 Texas 237, is making its big debut this spring. You can expect seven show halls — and several special events.
These include the renowned Butcher’s Ball chef dinners, the Lottie Mae Lounge — a mobile art gallery in an Airstream, and Antiques Roadshow alum Leigh Keno’s much-anticipated appraisal event on March 31.

Junk Gypsy World Headquarters
Sisters Jolie Sikes-Smith and Amie Sikes had more than a little something to do with the rise of repurposed design. The duo launched a television series on Great American Country and their Junk Gypsy World Headquarters became the landing pad for vintage, found and repurposed chic.
The space’s new additions — a vinyl lounge and hat bar — will debut this spring.
