Round Top has 48 venues across 11 miles, 1,500+ vendors, and spotty cell service. Navigating it without a plan is like trying to drink from a fire hydrant. That's why we built Round Top Finder — a free app and website designed specifically for shoppers navigating the antique show corridor.
Here's everything it can do for you.
Getting Started
Website: roundtopfinder.com — works on any device, no download required
Mobile App (recommended for on-the-ground use):
Create a free account to unlock favorites, trip planning, and personalized features. Apple Sign-In makes it instant on iPhone.
Feature 1: Browse All 48 Venues
Go to Venues to see every venue on the corridor with:
- Show dates and hours (each venue sets their own)
- Admission prices (most are free!)
- Amenities — restrooms, food on-site, ATMs, wheelchair access
- Parking info — free vs. paid, surface type
- Vendor directory — see who's at each venue
- Directions and contact info
Pro tip: Check "What You'll Find" on each venue page to see categories of merchandise before you go. Skip venues that don't have what you're shopping for.
Feature 2: Search 300+ Vendor Profiles
Go to Vendors to browse detailed profiles including:
- Photos and product galleries
- Booth location (which venue + tent/booth number)
- Category tags — furniture, fashion, jewelry, art, etc.
- Instagram links for previewing inventory
- Contact information
Filter by category to narrow your search: Fashion, Jewelry, Art, Home Decor, Furniture, Antiques, Rugs & Textiles, and more.
Filter by style to match your aesthetic: Farmhouse, French Country, Mid-Century Modern, Bohemian, Western, Quiet Luxury, and dozens more.
Feature 3: AI-Powered Search
This is the feature nobody else has. Round Top Finder uses AI to help you find what you're looking for in three ways:
Text Search
Type what you're looking for — "blue French armoire" or "vintage cowboy boots" — and AI searches across all vendor profiles and product photos.
Visual Search
Take a photo of a room, a piece of furniture, or a Pinterest inspiration image. The AI finds visually similar items from Round Top vendors.
AI Chat
Ask questions in plain English: "Where can I find vintage chandeliers under $500?" or "Which vendors sell Persian rugs?" The AI assistant knows the entire vendor database.
Feature 4: Interactive Map
The Map shows all 48 venues, vendors, and points of interest on one interactive map:
- Venue locations with tap-for-details
- Vendor booth locations (for vendors with GPS-mapped booths)
- Parking locations — see every lot with free/paid status and surface type
- Restroom locations — indoor and outdoor, filtered by type
- Entrances and exits — know where to enter each venue
- Your location — GPS dot shows where you are on the corridor
Toggle layers using the filter chips at the top: Venues, Shopping, Dining, Restrooms, Parking, and more.
Feature 5: Save Your Parking Spot
This feature alone is worth the download. When you park in a grass field with 500 other cars, finding your car later is genuinely hard.
How it works:
- Park your car
- Open the app and tap "Save Parking Spot"
- GPS marks your car's exact location
- After shopping multiple venues, open the app to navigate back to your car
Available in the mobile app on the Map screen.
Feature 6: Near Me
When you're standing in Round Top and need something fast, tap Near Me to find:
- Shopping — nearest vendors and venues
- Food — restaurants and food trucks
- Drinks — bars, wineries, coffee
- Restrooms — nearest indoor and outdoor restrooms with distance
- Parking — closest parking lots with free/paid status
Filter by category and adjust the radius (1/4 mile to 2 miles).
Feature 7: Favorites
Tap the heart icon on any vendor or venue to save it to your Favorites list. Use this to:
- Build a "must visit" list before the show
- Save vendors you want to come back to
- Share your favorites with friends (great for girls' trips)
- Track flash deals from your favorite vendors
