May's Antique Market

What makes May's Antique Market distinct

Family-run since 1977, and built around one distinctive, well-documented policy: dealers aren't allowed to unpack or set up before the opening bell, so — per the field's own framing — "everyone is an early buyer," with real crowds reported at the Thursday open. One 2025 visitor specifically praised the jewelry selection here, including Rolex watches, but warned the field thins out fast — by the third day, "a lot of people were closed up."

Worth prioritizing on its Thursday opening or the Friday after, not the tail end of its Thursday–Saturday run.

When to arrive

May's Antique Market runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday. It's one of the fields that doesn't run the full week — plan around its actual window rather than assuming it matches the rest of the show. This field opens mid-morning — neither the earliest nor the latest on the schedule. See the full field-by-field opening-time breakdown to plan a route across multiple fields.
