It’s Antiques Time Again in Natchez! The fourth annual Natchez Antique Show & Sale will be Thursday-Sunday, at the Natchez Convention Center, so pick up your pocket books and come on down!

We have over 40 dealers this year in what we are sure will be the best show this side of the mighty Mississippi River. You don’t want to miss it. Dealers from as far away as New Jersey are making the trek to Natchez with what could be your most prized possession and they’ll be here to serve you starting with a huge preview party on Thursday.

Live music from Rondev-vous, a five piece band playing your favorites from the 40s to the Top 40. Fingers foods will be on hand and a cash bar open as you stroll around the rows and rows of beautiful antiques. Tickets for the preview party are $25/single and $40/couple and can be purchased at the Natchez Visitor Reception Center or at the door.

On Friday, the doors open at noon and we’ll stay until 8 p.m. So, when you get off work on Friday, you’ll have time to come and shop with us. The most popular segment — the appraisals — is Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. This is when you can bring an item in for our panel of experts to tell you what they think it could be worth. No piece is too big or small. They’ll be able to give you a little history on your antique and they may even offer to buy it from you.

Saturday’s events start at 10 a.m. and runs through 6 p.m. The doors are open all day for you to come and go as you please. Then, on Sunday, we will start at 11 a.m. and the doors close at 4 p.m. Weekend passes for this even are only $5. What a deal.

Another exciting part of the Natchez Antique Show & Sale is the on-site glass grinder. This vendor can fix just about anything. Chipped pieces can be handled on the floor while you shop. Broken pieces can be repaired. So if you have something that you’d like to be fixed, bring it down on Friday, the glass grinder just may have you ready to go by Sunday.

Don’t forget the Natchez Antique Show & Sale, this weekend at the Natchez Convention Center.
