Button Show: Artisan Buttons of the Garden State

 On Saturday, May 9 the New Jersey State Button Society (NJSBS) will host its Spring 2026 Button Show and Competition, “Artisan Buttons of the Garden State.”

With judged member competitions featuring buttons made from materials used in New Jersey Button factories, as well as many Studio buttons created by artists from New Jersey, the NJSBS will highlight some of its own homegrown history. Other competition subjects will include clear and colored glass buttons, birds, and buttons with borders.

Located at the Union Fire Company Hall at 1396 River Road in Titusville, the event is free and open to the general public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to viewing member trays of collectible buttons on display, there will be door prizes, a raffle table, and knowledgeable button dealers with hundreds of antique, vintage and modern buttons available for purchase.

Founded in 1941, when a nationwide interest in button collecting was surging, NJSBS helps its members to study, collect, and enjoy garment buttons from the present and centuries past. The NJSBS Spring Show is open to the general public. Admission and parking are free.For more information email ButtonsInNewjersey@gmail.com.
