The tiny town of Round Top, an antique haven ~80 miles east of Downtown Austin, will come alive for its Winter Antique Show Thursday, Jan. 23-Sunday, Jan. 26.

We’re sharing must-visit spots to add to your itinerary — all you need to do is pack your car, put on your cowboy boots, and gear up for a weekend of treasure hunting.

Before we dive in — here are a few things to know about The Round Top Antiques Shows:

  • The festivals take place within a 20-mile radius, which includes the communities of Round Top, Warrenton, Carmine, Burton, and Fayetteville. Be ready to walk.
  • Free parking lots and ~$5 parking can be found all along Texas State Highway 237.
  • Each shop and venue is independently owned and operated.

Shop

The interior of a vendor tent at the Round Top Antiques Show in Warrenton, TX is filled with chairs, furniture, art, mirrors, lampshades, books, and vintage couches. Wooden, upholstered dining room chairs are suspended from the top of the tent by string or rope.

You’ll want to grab a tote (and clean out the trunk of your car) before heading to Round Top.

Eat + drink

The café features a Coca-Cola sign, a neon 'Café' sign, and chalkboards with handwritten menus and festive messages. Bright flower boxes add charm to the front of the building, which exudes a nostalgic small-town atmosphere under an evening sky.

Royers Cafe’s Texas Trash Pie — made with chocolate chips, pretzels, coconut, caramel, and graham crackers — was the No. 1 mail-order gift on “The Today Show” in 2016.
