Vintage Market Days of North Idaho: Bloom If you can’t sate your appetite for funky vintage finds, even after June’s Farm Chicks Show or by making the rounds to the dozens of vintage and antique shops in the region, make plans to hit up this second-year vendor market. Dubbed an “upscale open-air market featuring vintage and vintage-inspired collections for all ages,” Vintage Market Days takes over the barns at Coeur d’Alene’s Kootenai County Fairgrounds for a three-day affair. Besides the exciting treasure-hunt aspect of an event like this, guests can also enjoy live music and food vendors. Modeled after an event originally held in Oklahoma, Vintage Market Days is a national series, with versions held in cities across the U.S. Coeur d’Alene’s rendition features dozens of local vintage and antique vendors, offering everything from clothing to furniture to decor, and much more. Grab your tote bags and go!
Each year before Vintage Market Days officially opens, Chandra Gower says she drinks lots of coffee, and her husband and Farmhouse Beginnings business partner Greg Gower builds items until the very last minute.
Something unique about Vintage Market Days, set to run April 1-3 at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds, is that most businesses to be represented there are owned by women.
