This August, High Point’s design district will welcome a new kind of market magic. Vintage Market Days® of the Piedmont Triad makes its highly anticipated fall debut at the historic Suites at Market Square, bringing together more than 75 handpicked vendors, live musical performances, and artisanal experiences to the city’s creative heart. For dealers, collectors, and design enthusiasts, this weekend promises rare discoveries, meaningful connections with makers, and participation in a thriving vintage community.
A Strategic New Home in Design’s Capital
The decision to debut in High Point’s historic design district represents more than a venue change — it signals the growing sophistication of the vintage market. For the first time, more than 75 carefully curated vendors will present their finest antiques, vintage pieces, handcrafted goods, original art, jewelry, furniture, and seasonal décor within the epicenter of America’s furniture industry.
Amanda Benedict, owner of the Piedmont Triad VMD, explains the vision:
“This event is designed to bring vintage enthusiasts, friends, and families together for a one-of-a-kind shopping experience that supports local artisans and makers — now with a broader reach than ever before.”
The move from Greensboro to The Suites at Market Square — operated by ANDMORE — positions Vintage Market Days® among the most respected names in home furnishings. This landmark building has welcomed the world’s top home furnishings brands for decades, and VMD now joins these ranks, opening doors to trade professionals and seasoned collectors who frequent High Point’s renowned biannual markets.
The Vintage Experience, Curated
Vintage Market Days® is no ordinary flea. It’s an elevated market experience that brings together the best of the past and present. Guests can expect a blend of high-quality vintage and antique finds, upcycled creations, handmade goods, and gourmet treats, all set to a backdrop of live music and warm community spirit.
Melody Burnett, Executive Director of Visit High Point, shares her enthusiasm:
“We are thrilled to welcome Vintage Market Days® to High Point’s downtown. This event not only brings incredible shopping and artisan talent to our community, but it also showcases the charm and creativity that make the Triad such a special destination. We look forward to seeing visitors and locals alike experience everything this market has to offer.”
Elevating Vintage: Quality, Curation, and Cultural Impact
Vintage Market Days® distinguishes itself from typical weekend markets through careful curation and quality standards. The vendor selection process ensures visitors encounter pieces worthy of their time and investment. Whether you’re searching for a statement antique to anchor a room design, unique accessories to add character to your space, or handcrafted items that tell stories, the quality bar remains consistently high. Each booth showcases the passion and expertise of individuals who understand provenance, craftsmanship, and the stories that transform objects into heirlooms.
This High Point debut represents something larger than market expansion. It reflects the growing recognition that vintage and antique goods deserve the same respect and professional presentation as contemporary design offerings. When vintage takes residence in the same building that hosts the world’s largest international furniture markets, it signals the maturation of an industry once relegated to weekend flea markets.
For interior designers, this evolution provides new sourcing opportunities within established professional networks. For collectors, it means access to higher-quality pieces in more sophisticated settings. For vendors, it represents expanded market reach and professional growth within a community that values their expertise.
The timing proves particularly significant. In an era where sustainability consciousness drives purchasing decisions, vintage and antique goods offer environmentally responsible alternatives to mass production. Each piece purchased extends the lifecycle of quality craftsmanship while reducing demand for new manufacturing.
Entertainment That Enhances Discovery
Beyond the booth-lined aisles, visitors will enjoy a rotating lineup of musical performances throughout the weekend. The weekend launches Friday with Sam and Sarah Swanson, the brother-sister duo whose soulful interpretations of contemporary hits earned them devoted followers during their spring 2025 performance. Their soulful takes on Top 40 hits set the tone for a weekend filled with style, sound, and celebration. Additional performances by local artists, including Anna Mertson, round out the weekend’s entertainment.
