Why Go To The Baltimore Antique Show?
Baltimore Summer Antique Show
August 23 – 26, 2012
Baltimore Convention Center
Downtown at the Inner Harbor
Dates: August 23 – 26, 2012
Thursday Aug. 23 12 – 8 pm
Friday Aug. 24 11 am – 7 pm
Saturday Aug. 25 11 am – 7 pm
Sunday Aug. 26 11 am – 6 pm
Admission: $15.00 Good through the run of the show.
Yes, the goods are expensive. So why go?
If for no other reason, the $15 admission is worth it to see how things were made before we embraced disposable merchandise. There was once life before plastic and a petroleum-based world. Things were made from natural materials and built to last so that we wouldn’t have to keep taking and taking from the planet. Goods were made with craft and care and passed from one person to the next and not just thrown in the dumpster when we grew tired of them.
Support a reuse economy.
Despite the $20,000 chest of drawers and $2,000 teapots they may sell, most antique dealers are not part of the %1. Most are small business owners who spend a lot of effort tracking down quality items to sell. They provide jobs for locals who run their shops, pack and deliver their merchandise, do their accounting and taxes, create their advertising and websites and so on. Supporting folks who sell used goods is supporting a sustainable economy.
Can’t afford anything? -Grab a drink.
In the past, the Baltimore Summer Antique Show has had a few bars throughout the venue. Take a date, grab a beverage and peruse the goods. Can’t afford a piece of furniture? -Check out some of the booksellers for books on antique furniture. Learn how to buy quality pieces and work your way up.
I want to buy something. Is it real?
Ok, so maybe you are someone who has the resources to buy something, but you know nothing about antiques. Should you be wary of getting swindled? The Baltimore Antique Show is a vetted show. The dealers have been carefully selected by experienced professionals in the field who recognize their quality merchandise. That being said, even high-end dealers make mistakes. Make sure the dealer will refund your purchase if it is not what they claim it to be and do your homework.
Good luck and enjoy the show!
The Baltimore Summer Antique Show at the Baltimore Convention Center is the area’s largest antique show. In recent years, the show has grown to over 500 dealers. Despite the many high priced items, there is often something for everyone -with items ranging from reasonable to extravagant. Dealers come from all over, but you’ll find many locals here too.
The only act of shopping that could truly be considered environmentally friendly is buying merchandise that already exists, such as antiques, vintage fashion and used and traded goods. Buying from your local antique dealer not only protects the environment, but it also supports small business and creates jobs.

Bob Moore Memorial/Moonlight Madness Ride
The Bob Moore Memorial/Moonlight Madness Ride will be celebrated this year on Friday, August 31st at 7pm. Partnering with the Baltimore Bike Party, this leisure 10 mile group ride will start from the west side of the Washington Monument (Charles & Monument St) and tour Baltimore under a full moon.
From Baltimore Bike Party:
Baltimore Bike Party’s August ride!!!
We will be combining forces with the annual Bob Moore Memorial Moonlit Madness bike ride this month! Still meeting at the monument, still blasting tunes, still having fun, but hopefully double the people! 400? 500??? we have the cycling numbers in the city to do it!
UPDATE: through the lovely support and cooperation of Recreation and Parks, we have secured a reservation to finish in Wyman Park Dell this month! so what does that mean?
a) we can gaze upon the blue moon!
b) we can play outside in the wonderful night air!
c) there will be music DJ’d by our own Ro Demen
d) we are working hard on getting a food truck or two down there for some grub
e) this month is BYOB. providing/selling booze gets expensive quickly in groups this size and if we do it we do it right! so that means you gotta haul what you want to drink, OR we will be finishing the ride by passing through Hampden, Remington, and Charles Village, so there are plenty of places near the end where you can peel off and get what you need to meet us in the Dell!
f) bathroom available
g) Adrian doesn’t have to put a shirt on aaaaaall night.
