Antique Fair Soon Coming to Todos Santos Plaza

Antique buyers, sellers and aficionados beware: Concord's Todo Santos Plaza will soon be home to a new, year-round antique fair.

Whether you're looking to buy antique linens, art, a chandelier or simply for a new event to stroll through with the family on weekends, make sure to check it out, said Concord Antique Faire organizer, Jessica Doan, of Sacramento. 

"We looked for different locations around the Bay Area," said Doan. "For a while it looked like we would set up at the Lafayette BART station parking lot, but there were permit issues."

The city of Concord has worked with the fair's organizers to set up a two-month trial period, according to Doan, but organizers say they intend to stay much longer.

"We pay a small fee for rent and in turn provide downtown the plaza with an activity to invite families, generate revenue for downtown business ..."

The fair is schedule to take place at Todos Santos Plaza every three weeks, starting Sunday, April 15.

Look for it from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and check out the event's website.

Doan said the city set a limit of up to 75 vendors and that the antique pieces must be at least 20 years to be sold at the fair. If you're interested in setting up a booth of your own, follow this link for more information, including cost, restrictions and policies.

"We're setting limited space for arts and crafts," said Doan. "We want to emphasize the word 'antique,' here."
