Brimfield Antique Show

First impressions might peg Brimfield, Massachusetts, as a sleepy, unassuming little town. Three times a year, though, the tiny, centuries old New England settlement comes to life as the host of the legendary Brimfield Antique show. Every May, July, and September since the 1950s, a phalanx of antique dealers, collectors, and admirers has descended upon Brimfield for six days to peddle their wares. Brimfield is the Woodstock of antique shows. As many as a quarter of a million people flood the town every year to peruse the show’s dense network of makeshift storefronts and flea markets, some hoping to offload valuable heirlooms, others looking to come away with a new treasure, others still to soak up some good old-fashioned Americana. The show hits Brimfield again next month, from September 7th to the 12th.
