The Brimfield Antiques and Collectibles Show takes place in Brimfield, MA three times a year (May, July and September). The name can be deceiving because it is actually not a single centrally managed show but rather 20+ individually operated shows that take place during the same week. This can be confusing for first time shoppers. The shows all operate within the Tuesday to Sunday timeframe mandated by the town, but within that window they open and close at varying times.
The chaos takes place along Route 20 for about a mile stretch on both sides of the road. It has a festival-type atmosphere with live music and food vendors sprinkled throughout the fields.
Generally speaking, the field owners do a good job allowing only legitimate antique/vintage dealers (some more than others). But you still may find a stray vendor selling scented candles or new imported goods here and there. There are also more and more dealers selling repurposed and upcycled items every year and some dealers to a mix of new, old and everything in between!
There is no directory of dealers and it can be a challenge to find what you are looking for. That's one reason we created the app!
