Jan. 31 & Feb. 1, 2025 (Friday & Saturday), Waukesha. It only happens twice a year!
Shortly after the end of World War II, in 1948, several Wisconsin antiques dealers banded together to form the Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association, aka WADA. Over those 77 years WADA has connected us to our shared past by 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. Friday and Saturday, January 31 & February 1, 2025, marks their 51st Winter Show. Considering the list of participating dealers THIS Winter Show may prove to be their best ever!
Wander the three large rooms filled with the wares of 58 hand-picked dealers from 8 states! The Waukesha County Expo Center’s Forum Building is the home of this semi-annual event. Show hours are Friday, January 31, 10-6 and Saturday, February 1, 10-4.
