Vintage Market Days Connecticut

While we are experiencing sweltering summer in New England, at the same time we are appreciating what summer has to offer. Many fairs and festivals have flocked by. This weekend we visited an indoor/outdoor upscale vintage-inspired market at Harwinton Fairgrounds in Litchfield county Connecticut called Vintage Market Days. As a vintage hoarder myself but visiting the vintage market is fairly new for me. There are vendors from the home state of Connecticut to Massachusetts, Newyork, Pennsylvania to North Carolina who brought a wide array of architectural Salvage, food, antique furniture, Crocks, toys, vintage clothing (different decades, from Victorian and Art Deco), linen accessories to name a few all under one roof and everything vintage inspired. It was a three-day event from August 19-21, 2022.

The market is suffused with unique one-of-a-kind antique and vintage-inspired goodies, live music, and local food vendors. If you are a home decor enthusiast or hunt for unique clothes for kids or yourself or are conscious about the environment or natural remedies for skin or hair you got covered here. Also looking for one of a kind outing or one that supports local business or sustainable business here you are and in one way peeking through to a glimpse of the past or era gone by in the present. 

A few tips 

1. Go early to avoid the rush. You can find what you want without the risk of selling out.
2. A bargain is part of the game.
3. Most vendors accept credit cards yet cash can be handy. 
4. Making a list ahead can be easier for deciding what to buy, as the options will be plenty.
