Welcome to our 7th Annual Gateway to the Thumb Arts & Antiques Festival.  Each year we converge on the Eastern Michigan Fairgrounds on Father's Day weekend  to bring you a curated festival of vendors that specialize in selling antiques, vintage, collectibles, re-purposed and hand made goods.  Each vendor is selected so that we can ensure a quality shopping experience that is free from big box stores.  The majority of the items sold are unique and cannot be found in quantity.  

In addition, we showcase heritage learning environments where you and your children can learn about the past in a hands-on approach.  This year, we will have a demonstration and activity area slanted toward learning what chores and games children played in the early 1900s.  In that same area, you will find live alpacas from VC Farm and Fiber, selling their wares made from alpaca wool.

While at the festival, enjoy cuisine from hearty meats to savory sweets.  Take advantage of the photo opportunity booth to capture the fun with family, while listening to blue grass and old time favorite songs.
