Next Two Shows |
September 20 - 22, 2013 and April 19 - 20, 2014 are the next two show dates. Our show is always held on the third Friday, Saturday & Sunday every April and September. The show is advertised from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Rain or shine, we'll have a show!
Antique Alley spans the four towns of Grandview, Maypearl, Itasca and Cleburne. Grandview anchors the heart of the show with Maypearl to the east, Itasca to the south and Cleburne to the west. Looking to rent a space? Click on the 'Contact Us' page for show listing information. As you drive between towns, you will see shows scattered about - they are not 'solid', so keep driving! Do NOT park on the highway. If a landowner does not offer safe parking in their pasture, don't stop! Drive safe! Traffic will be heavy; especially on HWY 4 (S). Be kind; be friendly. If you see someone pull onto the shoulder to creep past waiting traffic, it could be a resident trying to get to their mailbox and up to their driveway! It will be 'slow-going' on the way to certain shopping venues. DPS troopers give tickets for parking on the shoulder of the highway. |

Antique Alley Texas - 37 Miles of Shopping & Sales GALORE! |
Notes for "FIRST TIMERS" : food & merchandise vendors and shoppers too, should know that the downtown areas of Grandview, Maypearl and Itasca will have any where from 50 to 100+ vendors selling everything from crafts, art, antiques and collectibles, homemade baked goods, junk & fundraisers, plus more, all lining the streets in these communities. Cleburne has vendors too, but they are scattered through out the community. In between these towns are individual landowners hosting shows on their private property. Hwy 4 (S) has many shows scattered up and down the highway that have been participating since 1999 and many of these host 175+ vendors. One of the shows on Hwy 4 is highly selective, offering only artists and antiques dealers. Search 'Antique Alley Cleburne' on your browser to see everything not listed here. This is a HUGE venue and it is difficult to see the whole thing in just one day. FM 916 has a few organized shows and Hwy 81 has at least one venue half-way between Itasca and Grandview. Every show shapes up differently, with adventurous entreprenuers bringing new places to 'treasure hunt.' There are ALWAYS yard sales GALORE scattered through out the 37 miles of shopping. Visit the LOCAL INFO and ABOUT US links to learn even more.
All the various organizers are actively seeking artists, crafters and antiques & collectibles dealers in Maypearl, Itasca, Grandview and all points in between! Some show ORGANIZERS ADVERTISE HERE, but not all. Are you looking to promote your Antique Alley event? Contact us! For a nominal fee, you can get listed here. Looking to reserve a space? Visit the CONTACT US link to see what shows are booking vendors. Visit the VENDOR link to see the dealers advertising on the AntiqueAlleyTexas.com website. Most food sales are highly regulated. For example, most show promoters prefer only one kettle corn vendor, one turkey leg vendor, one hamburger, one BBQ brisket, etc. within their venue. That is a fact in downtown Grandview - we want each food vendor to sell well; therefore duplication of specific menu items is restricted.
Locally grown produce and farm fresh eggs can be found too. Classic cars, antique tractors and home made ice cream define the Antique Alley experience! This is treaure hunting at its best!! Click on the Accommodations link and let Trip Advisor show you where the best places are to stay!
Folks, we don't text, no twitter/tweets; just old fashioned email and telephones (cell of course). Click on the Contact Us page to send an inquiry. Maps listing specific vendors/shopping venues are published the Thursday before each show in the Grandview Tribune newspaper. Pop & Gran's Antiques will have them for sale in their shop - 75 cents each.
Antique Alley Texas spans historic communities sprinkled with scenic views and fun for all. Itasca is just south of Grandview via State Highway 81. The route to Cleburne/Maypearl remains the same: via FM 4 (S) to FM 916 East - toward Maypearl (which turns into FM 66 as you enter Ellis county). This show is unique because of the miles and miles of shows and sales organized by independent landowners, small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. You may stumble upon a beautiful ranch or quaint farm where the landowner is hosting an antique show with specialty dealers coming from all over the United States to sell their wares, or you may find a place where they've just cleaned out Grandpa's barn! There will be musical entertainment and festival style foods all over the place!
Antique Alley Texas occurs twice per year on the third Friday, Saturday & Sunday each April and September.
