(The following is a press release from Junk Bonanza.)
As sustainability and stewardship of the environment continue to gain ground nationally, appreciation for the vintage lifestyle grows as well. For junk lovers, there are few places better to uphold these values—and get in some incredible shopping—than at the Junk Bonanza, the nation’s best roundup of junk, which returns to Sept. 13-15 for its seventh year.
The more than 10,000 attendees to last year’s three-day, indoor event enjoyed a rich, value-priced shopping experience with select vintage treasures, architectural salvage, junk and antiques.

From pillows sewn from vintage textiles to industrial castoffs fashioned into furniture, to jewelry and accessories crafted from unlikely vintage bits, the Bonanza showcases the ingenuity and creativity of vendors who see beauty in combining the timeworn with modern elements.
