PGH Vintage Mixer's Giant Vintage Fair - Season 19

PGH Vintage Mixer is back for its 19th season, taking over the David L. Lawrence Convention Center downtown on November 6 and 7. It's the biggest vintage fair in the city, and for good reason: more than 100 dealers gather in one spot, so you can cover a lot of ground without leaving the building. The fair has been a part of the local community since 2012, and it's curated to highlight sellers from around Pittsburgh and the surrounding region.

The range is wide enough to work whether you're hunting for something specific or just browsing. You'll find fashion and home goods and décor, vinyl, toys and games, and a good amount of sports and Pittsburgh memorabilia. Mid-century pieces and farmhouse favorites sit alongside mod looks and Y2K styles, with rare collectibles, jewelry, furniture and unique artifacts on the tables. The vendors are there in person, too, so you can ask about the stories behind the things they're selling.

It's a two-day event, and the pricing depends on when you want to go. General admission for the Main Mixer is $10, and there's a Night Owl preview for $25 if you want to get in early. A weekend pass is $30, which covers both days. Those are the advance prices; rates go up at the door. Students ages 8 to 21 pay $5 per day at the door with a valid student ID, and children 7 and under are free. Each ticket includes unlimited re-entry for the day it's valid, so you can head out for lunch and come back to finish your rounds. The fair kicks off Friday, November 6, at 5:30 PM.
