Attending an Antique & Collectible Show can be an emotional and fun-filled journey into the past. Seeing items from your past provoke wonderful memories such as the toys your mother threw away, your grandmother's cookie jar, garden antiques, board games and memorabilia. Pricing for many of the treasures you find a the show are modest and there is nothing like coming home and unwrapping your newly found discoveries. For many, it's a second chance at owning an item that you may have thought you'd never see again in your lifetime.  Some items you'll find at the show include pop collectibles, vintage clothing, glassware, silverware, antique radios, movie memorabilia, collectible toys, porcelain dolls, Star Wars collectibles, and much more! 

This show also includes a show within a show - The 45 table Portland Custom Knife Show. Custom knives have become very popular as functional works of art. Some knife makers forge their own blades and others create handles form antlers, wood and other materials. Admission for the Antique Show admits you to the Knife Show as well.

Grab your friends, family, date or coworkers and head to our happy hour event for drinks, lawn games, local food carts, photo ops, wildlife sightings and other fun stuff.
