Antique Alley Texas - 37 Miles of Shopping |
Welcome aboard Itasca! We now have a 37 mile venue for treasure hunters to navigate!
Itasca Antique Alley took off with a blast! The downtown Itasca show was festive with approximately forty vendors participating. That many vendors for a first-time show are deemed an excellent start. Show organizers and retail business owners see the event just getting better every year! The weather was rocky on Friday of the show but vendors held out and Saturday was excellent shopping weather for those participating.
There was a good mix of items being offered for sale. It was noted there were more visitors attending the overall show than ever before, since the show first opened in 1999.
There were plenty of yard sales sprinkled throughout all four communities. Plan ahead now for the next show. Jump on board! Be creative! City folks love looking at the classic cars, trucks and antique farming equipment. Farmer’s markets, farm fresh eggs and handmade items are all the rage; and yard sales just make for an interesting mix! Of course, antiques and collectible items are always good to offer for sale during this event.

Antique Alley Texas spans the historic communities of Itasca, Grandview, Cleburne and Maypearl. 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 (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! Itasca, Grandview and Maypearl line their streets with vendors, musical entertainment and festival style foods.
Antique Alley Texas occurs twice per year on the third Friday, Saturday & Sunday each April and September.
