The “ORIGINAL 185th SEMI-ANNUAL YORK ANTIQUES SHOW & SALE” is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 19 and 20, 2025 at MEMORIAL HALL EAST, located within the York Fairgrounds Convention & Expo Center, 334 Carlisle Avenue, York, Pennsylvania 17404. This extremely popular event will feature 60 carefully screened exhibitors in room settings offering an impressive breadth of antiques, including 18th and 19th century period American and English furniture, American country pieces in original paint and decoration, fine early porcelain and pottery, quilts, hooked rugs, samplers, and other textiles, lighting, vintage holiday items, including Halloween and Christmas treasures, historic ephemera, early kitchen and fireplace items, Native American artifacts, pueblo pottery and baskets, estate jewelry, vintage toys, and woodenware. Because of the small turnover at York, show visitors have the chance to get to know the dealers from whom they’re buying. This edition has only four changes, including one returning exhibitor: Gene and Carol Rappaport, Lancaster, PA, and three new: Hollis Broderick of Portsmouth, NH, Lucinda’s Collection of Fine Art, Tully, NY, and Thurston Nichols from Bethlehem, PA. In addition, there will be a small exhibit and information about the Historic Trappe, PA, Museum.
Melvin L. Arion, show promoter, does an outstanding job of assembling top-notch participants, while keeping the variety as broad as possible to ensure that nearly anyone can find a “new” treasure at York. In addition, all major credit cards are accepted for both admission and buying.
Because of the superb over-all quality of merchandise offered here, the York Show is considered one of THE PREMIER antiquing events in the mid-Atlantic region! Also, according to Arion, it’s the second oldest antiques show in the entire country.
Show hours Friday are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is FREE; the building is air conditioned and smoke-free; and, “good” food will be available on site.
ADMISSION is $10/person, $9 with this article or an ad.
