Junkstock: A Treasure Chest Full of Vintage Wonders

Source: Junkstock

By: Xitlally Velasco

Junkstock® is renowned as one of the finest vintage festivals in the nation. This year, the event takes place at Sycamore Farms on October 1 and October 6-8, with various open hours.

Sara Alexander is the mastermind behind Junkstock and is affectionately known as the Mother of Junkstock. Alexander’s journey into the world of "junking" began when she was a stay-at-home mother to two young boys. She had a fervor for discovering hidden treasures and a knack for repurposing vintage pieces on a budget while renovating her house. What started as a personal passion soon blossomed into an entirely new and exciting adventure.

Junkstock doesn’t only offer beautiful, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces from over 100 vendors ready to complete the look for any space. Looking around for gems can be tiring, so enjoy a meal from the various food vendors that will be in attendance, then treat yourself to apple cider donuts or a Bloody Mary. All while listening to local bands killing it on stage.

This a family-friendly event, and you can even bring your pet!
