Antiques Show
In addition to the antiques stores on Larchmere, we've invited other dealers to join the festivities, so come feast on a fine variety of antiques.  Most of the Larchmere dealers will display goods on the sidewalks in front of their shops, while the visiting antiques vendors will be set up in the landscaped Shaker Heights lot.

Dealers include:  Aspire Auctions, Bingham Antiques, Conservation Studios, Cecilia DeCaprio, John Young Inc., Larchmere Oriental Rugs, Marc Goodman Antique Mall, Shaker Square Antiques, Ron Young.


Arts and Crafts Fair
In addition to our usual antiques vendors, we've added some local artists and galleries to the mix.  Artists always add a little extra spice, and we're happy to have as many different genres and mediums as our local artists provide.

American Crafts parking lot, 13010 Larchmere Blvd.

Artists include:   American Crafts Gallery, Benjamin Rose Institute, Dancing Sheep, Intuition by Leah


Collectibles Exchange
They may not be your grandmother's antiques, but collectibles are a thriving and hot market commodity these days (look at eBay!).  We'll group the 20th-century vintage goods together so you can have a live collectibles experience and see the wonders of plastic, metals, ceramics and glass in our culture.  From trains and dolls to lighters and lunchboxes, your nostalgia buttons will go crazy with delight.  We're also working on getting a nationally known collectibles expert to have a Q&A booth here, stay tuned for news.

Community Flea Market 
The residents of the Larchmere Community Association are joining the merchant ranks!  The parking lot at Mo and Son's will be full of community tables selling everything from grandma's fine china to toys and toasters.   From collectibles to useful finds, the variety promises to be surprising and rewarding.  The official LCA 50/50 raffle station will be here too.  Buy some tickets to help support the community security program!

Entertainment Parades
It's not a festival without music and rides.  So, music and rides we will have!  We also invite all children who participated in the Parade the Circle  festivities to come in costume for special prizes and treats!  Why?  Because it's a shame to work that hard on a costume and to only wear it once, and we know you'll have fun just walking down the street as a fairy or a dragon or hula-hoop caterpillar.  Show us your creations in an informal setting so we can tell how cool they really are. 

1:00-4:00    Euclid Beach Rocket Car
all day         Prizes for children in costume
