Round Top Show Dates 2026

The Round Top Fall Show 2026 runs October 17–31, 2026 for most of its 47 venues across Round Top, Warrenton, and Carmine, Texas. Venues set their own dates: the earliest (Market Hill and The Hive) open October 12, and the last (Excess I & 2, Market Hill, Henkel Square, and the Round Top Vintage Market) stay open through November 1.

The Fall 2026 show is the core October 17–31 window, with a handful of early fields opening October 12 and a few venues running through November 1. Marburger Farm and Big Red Barn are the exception to opening day — both open during the show's final week: Big Red Barn opens October 25 (a ticketed Designer Day), Marburger Farm opens October 27, both running through October 31.

The next show is the Round Top Fall Show 2026 (venues open October 12 – November 1, most October 17–31), followed by the Winter Show, January 21–24, 2027. Spring 2027 dates have not been announced yet; we will post them here as soon as they are confirmed.

No — this is a common mix-up. Marburger Farm and Big Red Barn always run during the last week of each Round Top show, not the first. For Fall 2026, most of the 47 venues open October 17, but Big Red Barn doesn't open until October 25 and Marburger not until October 27 — both run through October 31. If either is a priority stop, plan your visit for the show's final week.

Market Hill and The Hive open October 12. A few more fields open October 15–16, and most venues are open by October 17. Check the venue-by-venue table on this page for each venue's exact dates and hours.

Yes. The Winter Show 2027 is January 21–24, 2027 — a smaller 4-day show with fewer venues than the main spring and fall events. Spring and Fall 2027 dates have not been announced yet.

Yes. Warrenton is a small town about 3.5 miles south of Round Top on Highway 237, and it is fully part of the same show. About half the venues — including Zapp Hall, Excess I & II, Dillard's Field, and The Marketplace Warrenton — are in the Warrenton corridor. The shows run at the same time, though each venue sets its own dates.

Round Top proper has a mix of established indoor-outdoor venues, including Marburger Farm, Big Red Barn, and Henkel Square. Warrenton tends to be more open-field and rustic in character — large outdoor lots, field vendors, and venues like Zapp Hall and the Excess fields. Both are excellent; most visitors make a full day of both areas.

The fall show (October) is generally regarded as slightly larger and more heavily attended. The spring show (March/April) has milder weather and is popular with first-timers. Inventory quality and vendor count are similar for both.

Most venues are free admission with free parking. A few premium venues charge entry: Marburger Farm ($15), Big Red Barn ($10), and select others ($5–$10). No advance tickets required for most venues.

2–3 days minimum to see the major venues across Round Top and Warrenton. Serious shoppers and dealers often come for the full week. First-timers should plan at least 2 full days.

Round Top is in Fayette County, about 90 minutes west of Houston and 90 minutes east of Austin along Highway 290, then south on Highway 237. The show venues stretch 11 miles along Hwy 237 between Warrenton and Carmine.

A handful of venues and shops are open year-round, but the main antique show only runs during the spring, fall, and winter show periods. Outside show weeks, Round Top is a very small town with limited retail.

No advance tickets are needed for most venues — you can show up and walk in. A few venues (Marburger Farm, Big Red Barn) sell early-access passes that let you in before general admission opens.

Absolutely. Mid-week (Tuesday through Thursday) is the best balance of good inventory and smaller crowds. That is when dealers and locals shop. Weekends have the most energy but also the most traffic.

Book 2–3 months in advance for show weeks. Hotels and vacation rentals within 30 miles fill up fast, especially for the fall show. The nearest town with significant lodging is Brenham, about 20 miles east.

The Round Top Spring Show 2026 ran March 14–28, 2026, and the 2026 Winter Show ran January 22–25. Both are over — the current show is the Fall 2026 show, with venues open October 12 – November 1.
