Drive Out for Round Top/Warrenton Antique Weekend

If you’re itching for a road trip and love shopping for antiques, farmhouse-inspired finds or shabby chic home goods, we have the spot for you. From vintage collectibles, jewelry, apparel, home decor, furniture, architectural and industrial salvaged items, guns, antiques and so much more, the Round Top and Warrenton Texas Antique Shows are the place to be next week.

Round Top is recognized as one of the best antique shows in the nation, and shoppers flock to the area for genuine antique and vintage pieces. Twice a year, more than 100,000 people set out for these rural Texas communities near the midpoint between Houston and Austin to shop more than 60 antique, collector, decor and fashion shows that take place in barns, dance halls, under tents and in fields. More than 2,000 local entrepreneurs and individual sellers from all over the country features a broad collection of antique, collectible and crafts.

The Fall Antique Weekend takes place from Monday, Oct. 1, through Sunday, Oct. 7, although some tents and shows won’t be open on Monday or Sunday (so check individual location calendars to be sure). Here are some of the most popular spots for shopping.
