The Vintage Market is Giving Sunday Funday All Weekend at the Fairgrounds

The NC State Fairgrounds is transforming into a picker’s paradise for the Vintage Market Days of NC Triangle. On Friday, May 8, 2026, over 130 indoor vendors will kick off a three-day weekend of “Lovely Day” vibes, showcasing everything from high-end antiques to boutique clothing. It is the ultimate local treasure hunt without having to worry about the unpredictable North Carolina spring rain.

Housed in the Jim Graham Building, this massive curated market offers more than just shopping; it’s a full-blown experience with handmade jewelry, home décor, and unique gifts from regional makers. Since your ticket is good for re-entry all weekend, you can grab that mid-century lamp on Friday and come back for the farmhouse table on Sunday once you’ve measured the dining room.

📍 4285 Trinity Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607
📅 Friday, May 8, 2026 – Sunday, May 10, 2026 | 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
💰 From $20 (Kids 12 and under are free)

Wear your most comfortable sneakers and maybe clear out the trunk before you head over. Between the vintage finds and the handmade treats, you’re going to need the cargo space!
