The premier place to find antiques and collectibles in Southwest Michigan continues to be in St. Joseph on the first Sunday of the month, May through October. The popular Antiques on the Bluff series returns on May 1 from 10:00a to 5:00p, when vendors will sell their treasures along the tree-lined Lake Bluff Park overlooking Lake Michigan.
“We are taking vendor registrations now,” said Amy Zapal, executive director of St. Joseph Today. “With dozens of booths already booked,, remaining space is limited. This is a particularly good year to participate since two of the six Sundays fall on major holiday weekends.” Show dates are May 1, June 5, July 3, August 7, September 4 and October 2.
Zapal said merchandise is limited to antiques, vintage and collectibles. Reproductions, modern crafts or new merchandise are not allowed. She asked that interested vendors contact Events & Operations Manager Daniele at (269) 985 1111 or daniele@stjoetoday.com.
Dealers may be asked to provide a photograph of representative merchandise before a booth area is assigned. They also will need a Michigan Sales Tax ID to participate. Information about obtaining a tax ID is available at michigan.gov/taxes. For more information on becoming a vendor, visit stjoetoday.com/antiques.
