The fair now actually takes place over two days but has added lots of vendors of decor-craft items in the genre of burlap wreaths, bland chalk paint furniture, and 'Eat Sleep Love' hand lettered signs, all the sort that are infesting antique stores everywhere, along with MLM stuff like LuRaLo or whatever, those ugly leggings. It's a shadow of the Cameron festival I started to attend years ago, and only a scant few of the dealers I looked forward to shopping with are still attending. On the bright side, it brings people into the town to shop the existing local businesses as well. read more

Look forward to this twice a year. It is hit or miss with antiques. Like anything prices are out of the range of reality. read more

Cameron Antiques Fair - Antiques Near Me

I enjoy decorating my home with antiques and attend this festival twice a year to see what I can find. It's held the first Saturday of May and Oct so the weather is usually pleasant. The fair is free and so is parking if you keep your eyes open. This event takes up their entire main street and will take you roughly 4 hours to look at everything. Most of the items are antiques with a few crafts here and there and hardly any new items. Since the fair is only one day sellers are willing to make some deals so it's best to bring cash and be ready to haggle. Cameron is home to many antique stores but I skip those during this event because the vendor's prices are much lower. If hunting for treasures wasn't enough fun, this event boasts some major foodie delights. NC BBQ, Thai, homemade ice cream, roasted nuts, turkey legs, ribs, I could go on and on. My advice is to come hungry. The only other antique fair I know of around here is in Liberty which is larger but you have to pay a $7 admission and their prices are ridiculous. This event is family and pet friendly and makes a great day trip from the Triangle. read more

We go to the spring and fall antiques fair in Cameron every year. This is a quaint little town and the antique dealers fill it from one end to the other. You will see a wide variety of items and quite a few food vendors as well. All the Antique stores participate as well. Its a lot of walking.....be careful not to trip on a tree root! We usually find a couple items to buy and go home tired and looking forward to the next fair. read more
