PA's Largest Antiques Show





Norm Schaut's Antique City Fun Fair

Antique City, Norm Schaut's Fun Fair for Collectors, Pennsylvania's largest and most diverse indoor antiques show and vintage collectibles event, returns April 12-13, 2014 to Bethlehem, PA.


Attendance at Pennsylvania's largest indoor antique, art and collectibles show exploded by 63% last April, resulting in a box office line one-eighth of a mile long. Shopping the show's 250 booths from 21 states, Canada, England, Germany and Italy will be a pleasure because every booth and aisle is custom carpeted for the fair.  Black pipe and drape add elegance.  


The Happiest Show on Earth features everything from country and formal furnishings to folk and fine art, Mickey Mouse to Mickey Mantle, holidays to Hollywood, dolls and trains to ships and planes.  There's jewelry, pottery, glass, advertising, nostalgia, posters and postcards plus fabulous finds from the 50's through the 80's.


The festival enjoys strong attendance because it is perfectly situated half way between New York and Philadelphia in the heart of eastern Pennsylvania's antiquing country.  Charter bus service is being offered from New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington.


On Sunday, an appraisal panel of specialists, will offer descriptive evaluations of items for $5 each.  All fees are donated to the Pediatric Unit of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital in Allentown, The Center for Animal Health and Welfare in Easton and The Wounded Warrior Project.  These three organizations share in Saturday ticket sales and receive all of the revenue from the Sunday box office.


'Antique City' Fun Fair hours are Saturday April 12 from 10am to 5pm and Sunday April 13 from 10am to 4pm. General 10am admission is $8 for adults; youngsters under 12 are admitted free.  Parking is also free.  The $16 show preview begins at 8am on Saturday. GPS: 123 Goodman Drive, Bethlehem, PA.


Tickets may be purchased at the expanded Lehigh Fieldhouse box office on show days or ordered at AntiqueCityShow.com or 800-822-4119.
