Vintage Market

This free event welcomes lovers of antiques to the North Shore to scope out serious vintage style and celebrate clothes, jewelry, décor, furniture, art and music from the past. You’ll find a great mix of vintage in all categories including midcentury modern, vinyl, antiques, vintage home décor, art, lighting, memorabilia and so much more.

Feldman Judaica Gallery.
Sands is an expert at appraising vintage costume and estate jewelry while Feldman will offer appraisals on Judaica and other vintage items. They encourage attendees to bring items onsite, as long as they are “smaller than a breadbox.”
