Not Just One Show — It's 48+ Shows at Once
When people search "when is the Round Top antique show," they're usually thinking of one big event. The truth is bigger — and better. Round Top is home to over 48 independent venues stretched across Round Top, Warrenton, and Carmine, Texas. Each venue sets its own dates, hours, and admission.
Some venues like Marburger Farm and Big Red Barn open for just a few days. Others, like Round Top Village and Henkel Square, are open year-round. During the big show weeks in spring and fall, most venues overlap — creating the world's largest outdoor antique fair.
You might hear it called the "Round Top flea market," "Round Top antique fair," or "Round Top antique show" — they all refer to the same incredible event. Technically, it's a collection of independent antique shows happening simultaneously. Whether you're looking for a classic flea market experience with bargain bins and treasure hunts, or a curated antique fair with museum-quality pieces, you'll find both at Round Top.
That's why a single date range never tells the whole story. This page gives you the complete picture: every show season, every venue's schedule, and expert tips on when to go based on what you're looking for.
