The Walnut Antique Show began in 1982 and has a rich history of attracting antique vendors and shoppers from around the world!  Over 300 dealers from across the United States set up their booths, restocking daily with newly displayed items.  If you haven't attended the Walnut AMVETs Antique Show, you will discover that this is the show to "find it and buy it."

Walnut's turn-of-the-century buildings, brick and tree-lined streets, country hospitality and existing malls and shops are the perfect setting for this wonderful annual event.

Held annually over Father's Day weekend!

Make plans to attend this antique-lovers event!!!

Mark your calendars and come enjoy the weekend with us in Walnut.  Strolling along the 17 blocks of dealers outside and two indoor halls, the Catholic Church yard and the many shops downtown will keep you very busy and you may need more than one day to see it all. 

For general and dealer information about the show, phone 712-784-3710. 

The Walnut Antique Show is solely promoted, sponsored and pad for by the Walnut AMVETS and still has FREE ADMISSION and FREE PARKING.

The show is always scheduled for Father's Day weekend.  If you haven't attended the Walnut show, we are sure you will be pleased with the variety and quality of the antiques at the show.  We estimate that between 20,000 and 30,000 people shop the show each year.  Plan to attend this year's show now and see for yourself why it is one of Iowa's most popular destinations.  The turn-of-the-century buildings, brick and tree-lined streets, country hospitality and Walnut's own permanent malls and shops are a perfect setting.  The fact that the event is held on Father's Day weekend makes it the perfect time to hold the largest antique show in the region. 

The community and local organizations get involved by providing a variety of food and snacks for the ever-growing crowds.  The Fireman's breakfast, church food stands, and American Legion serves everything from roast pork, brats, hamburgers, home-made ice cream, funnel cakes, and don't forget those frozen fruit bars.  There are also some very fine restaurants in the area, including a fine bakery in the downtown Business District.
