Martinez
Peddlers' Faire's |
| Spring
and summer will soon
arrive and once again it's time for the annual Martinez Summer Peddlers'
Faires. The Martinez Peddlers' Faire is
one of the largest outdoor antique shows in northern California.
The Faire is held on the streets of historic downtown Martinez on
Saturday, May 17 and August 2 from 8am-4pm. Get here early to have
your pick of that special item to add to their collection. You will find plenty to choose from Dealers will be showing a huge variety of antiques and collectibles including glassware, porcelain, pottery, furniture, old advertising, toys, Native American wares, paper items, arts, crafts, and much more. While at the Faire, be sure to visit the 10 stores of the Martinez Antique Association in the downtown area. The 100 plus dealers in the stores will be bringing in new inventory for the Faire in preparation for the thousands of visitors on Faire day. John Humphries, radio and TV collectibles talk show host, and the author of several books on collectibles, will again be on hand during the day to give free evaluations of up to three carry-in items. John will be located at the information booth on the corner of Main and Ferry Streets from 8am-4pm. John is always a popular feature at the Faire so be sure to get in line early and get a number. Bring in that old piece of pottery, glass, toy or other collectible but remember; no furniture, carry-in items only please. You won't go hungry during your visit to the Faire. Plenty of food will be available at downtown restaurants. Pick up a map at the info booth on the corner of Main and Ferry St. Space is still available for dealers.

To find the Faire, take the Marina Vista exit of I-680 or the Alhambra exit of Hwy 4 and follow the signs to the Faire. Plenty of parking and admission is free. See you at the Faire! |
