Vintage Market Days® = Heaven for Antique Lovers!

VMD is a three-day event that offers 288 booths in 4 barns and outdoors. Each booth offers expertly staged merchandise. There is so much to see, it’s hard to take it all in on one visit.

This weekend: The Ultimate Treasure Hunt: Antiques, unique gifts and more await 🛍️🎁

It would take a month of Sundays and hundreds of miles to find a comparable selection of antiques, collectibles, unique and original art, clothing, jewelry, distinctive home decor, outdoor furnishings, tasty treats, plants, folk art, collectibles, and quirky oddities. Fortunately, Vintage Market Days® of Dayton-Cincinnati brings it all to Greene County Fairgrounds. 

Your eye will catch something different from every vantage point. These vendors are selected through a juried process that evaluates them based on the quality, variety, and originality of their goods, with a focus on those selling vintage, handmade, or up-cycled items, ensuring a fabulous experience. Fortunately, you can re-enter for Free by simply taking a selfie at one of VMD's photo walls. Yes, that applies to different days. If you buy a ticket on Friday, your photo wall selfie will get you in on Saturday and Sunday too!

We’re mere weeks away from Christmas and Hanukkah, and VMD is an excellent place to pick up thoughtful gifts. Would you appreciate a vintage platter or casserole dish filled with a favorite recipe? I loved receiving Grandma’s fudge recipe and a tin filled with fudge from my Mom! What was the most thoughtful gift you ever received? What was the most thoughtful gift you gave? I enjoy holiday shopping with my sister. That way, we each choose exactly what we want. 

At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, I must confess, the older I get, the more difficult I find gift giving and receiving. I have no interest in the latest trends or hottest new gadgets. I love running across items that I know will be treasured gifts. A friend gave me a green-handled potato masher, like the one Grandma had.  It still makes me feel special to know that when she spotted it, she remembered me talking about it and bought it for me. 

Wear comfy shoes, take wish and gift lists, a tape measure and measurements if you’re shopping for just the right fit. Take advantage of the Free Bag check to keep your hands free for shopping. Vendors take credit cards, though cash is always welcome. There are ATMs on site. Bring a truck, you'll be glad you did!
