Event Spotlight
Psst — be prepared to spend big and/or get very inspired by the wares brought to Round Top. | Photos by ATXtoday
Marburger Farm’s Spring Antique Sale opened to thousands of customers earlier this week, with hundreds of vendors selling antique jewelry, clothing, furniture, decor, and more to visitors from all around the world.
Located in Round Top, which is just over an hour east of Austin, Marburger Farm is a shopper’s paradise. Not only that, but many of the vendors sell out of antique buildings that have been restored on the property, giving the shopping experience a charming feel.
You can visit through Saturday, March 28, but don’t worry if you can’t make it — the show will be back in the fall. Get tickets.
