The 47th Annual Cashiers Antique Show returns to the Village Green August 8–10, transforming Cashiers’ leafy town center into a treasure hunter’s paradise. Early-bird ticket holders gain first access Friday morning (7:30–9:00 A.M.), while regular admission begins at 9:00 A.M. Friday and Saturday, and at 11:00 A.M. Sunday. More than 40 dealers from across the Southeast will offer an inspired mix of antiques and collectibles set against the rolling foothills of the Plateau.
Stroll the neatly arranged aisles and you’ll encounter stunning sterling silver flatware, intricate Staffordshire figurines, and majolica pieces whose glazes glow in the filtered light. Furniture aficionados can admire formal and country pieces—ranging from 18th-century English sideboards to mid-century Adirondack chairs—alongside fine hand-woven Oriental rugs. Case after case reveals Black Forest carvings, art glass, copper and brass accoutrements, and smalls perfect for a mantle or dressing table.
This year’s show adds a new twist: live demonstrations by restoration experts who will talk through the techniques behind cleaning, repairing, and preserving heirloom pieces. Next to their tent, a “Curator’s Corner” highlights fresh finds from regional estates—think 19th-century botanical prints and European silver boxes adorned with ornate repoussé work. Visitors can pose questions, compare notes with seasoned collectors, or simply linger over coffee beneath the dappled shade.
Ticket options suit every pace: a three-day pass ($60) guarantees access to early admission and a free guidebook, while single-day tickets ($25) and children under 12 (free) accommodate spontaneous visits. Advance purchases through cashiersannualantiqueshow.com include
Beyond the booths, the Antique Show reflects Cashiers’ spirit of mountain hospitality. A pop-up tearoom serves pastries and iced tea beside the fountain, while local musicians provide a gentle soundtrack of bluegrass and jazz. Each evening, volunteers welcome guests to an exhibitor-hosted reception, offering a chance to toast new acquisitions as the sun dips behind Whiteside Mountain.
In Cashiers, the Antique Show isn’t just a marketplace, it’s a community ritual that honors artistry, history, and discovery. Whether you’re hunting for a conversation-piece chandelier or simply soaking in the timeless atmosphere, this mountain-town gathering invites every visitor to celebrate the past—and carry a piece of it home.
