49th Annual Niles Antique Faire and Flea Market

Niles Antique Faire By Isabella Ohlmeyer 
Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy a blast from the past at the 49th annual Niles Antique Faire & Flea Market Sunday, August 25 in Fremont's historic Niles District. This event draws an estimated 30,000 attendees each year, many of whom attend the faire to view vintage items and reminisce with stories from their childhood. Niles is known for its shopping and silent film vintage in a quaint main street setting. The event will begin bright and early with the popular pancake breakfast at 4 a.m. for vendors and eager, hungry early bird customers.

"The success of the Niles Antique Faire is that we look for many different vendors each year with several types of items for sale," said faire coordinator Keith Elrod. From antique jewelry to vintage clothing, over 200 vendors will showcase charming antiques and memorabilia.

Along with antiques and collectables, woodcrafts, painters, henna art and face painters will add variety to the faire; unique plants from Crescent Hill Nursery will occupy several booths. The Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum will be open from noon - 4 p.m. offering various historic items from the silent film era including a historic tour guide, Broncho Billy postcards and Essanay book plates.

Popular, mouth-watering Niles eateries will make sure hunger pangs are satisfied with food choices including Thai barbeque, Mexican food, corndogs, scrambled eggs, Italian food, and linguica sausage sandwiches.

The Niles Antique Fair & Flea Market is an opportunity to spend quality time and appreciate rare quality antiques; it's a fun extravaganza for the whole family.
