Midland, MI. - The scope and magnitude
of the July event (one of three events) at the 41st annual Midland Antique & Collectible Festival were astounding . . . and this was their
“small” show. Just a good, old fashioned
great time was to be had by all.

The events could keep you busy for the entire weekend. If you just wanted to search out that specific antique item in the hundreds of vendors’ booths, all you’d need is comfortable shoes and an adventurous spirit. With a true festival atmosphere, this Michigan event lends itself to many levels of enjoyment. If you enjoy shopping for elegant antiques, you can do that here - or if you love to dig around at a flea market, this is the relaxed place to do your hunting. Vintage car shows, auctions, entertainment, swap meets, and plenty of food and refreshments are all part of the festival - heaps of fun in an enormous fairground setting in the lovely town of Midland, Michigan
