Welcome to our 8th Annual Gateway to the Thumb Arts & Antiques Festival.  Each year we converge on the Eastern Michigan Fairgrounds on the third full weekend of June 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 living heritage demonstration and activity area slanted toward learning about the life in the 1700s.  

While at the festival, take time to create a keepsake in our make and take creative area.  Also, be sure to 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.  The entire event is only $5 for an armband that is good for the weekend.  Children under 12 and parking is free!
