72nd Fall Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association Show, Oct 6 & 7, 2023

This Friday & Saturday! Wander the show's three large rooms with spacious aisles and booths offering merchandise spanning many centuries.

You may not know that the Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association has the distinction of being the longest, continually-functioning state antiques organization in the United States! In 1948, shortly after the end of World War II, a number of Wisconsin antiques dealers banded together to form the Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association. Over those 75 years WADA has connected us to our shared past via their antiques shows, consistently offering human-friendly antiques at affordable prices. Authenticity, condition and rarity have always been the guidelines for this top-notch group of professional dealers with offerings at ALL price levels. Please join them Friday and Saturday, October 6 & 7, to celebrate their 72nd Fall Show.

CENTURIES OF MERCHANDISE!

ALL INDOORS! Wander the show’s three large rooms providing spacious aisles and booths. Merchandise spanning many centuries, from vintage holiday to jewelry to antique cupboards to ancient artifacts, will be found at affordable prices. Stop for a catered meal during all show hours where the reputation for good food continues. Plenty of indoor seating is available and a traditional Wisconsin Fish Fry will return late Friday afternoon and evening so bring your appetite! The Waukesha County Expo Center’s Forum Building, 1000 Northview Road, Waukesha, WI 53188, is the home of this semi-annual event. Show hours are Friday, 10-7 and Saturday, 10-5.
