Every spring, the heart of Hermann, Missouri, fills with history, charm, and rare treasures during one of the state’s most beloved annual events: the Hermann Antique Show. Held at the iconic Hermannhof Festhalle and Wagon Works buildings, this antique lover’s paradise draws acclaimed dealers from across the country—and it’s just steps from wineries, shops, and scenic walking trails.
If you love vintage finds, small-town charm, and a weekend steeped in both relaxation and discovery, this event belongs on your calendar.
A Tradition of Timelessness
The Hermann Antique Show is Missouri’s longest continuously running antique show, a title it has proudly earned through decades of consistent excellence and passion for preserving the past. It opens annually to the public at 9:00 a.m. on the second or third Saturday in April, attracting visitors, collectors, and historians from all over the region.
With over 30+ professional antique dealers, the event spans two beautiful historic buildings—each filled with premium country furniture, smalls, Americana, primitives, vintage decor, rare collectibles, and more.
The Venue: Hermannhof Festhalle & Wagon Works
Set against the cobblestone charm of the Hermannhof district, both the Festhalle and Wagon Works are prime examples of German-American craftsmanship and restoration. These buildings, lovingly preserved by Jim and Mary Dierberg, date back to the 1800s and now serve as backdrops for this treasured event.
With the ambiance of antique beams, original brickwork, and history echoing in every corner, the venue alone is worth the visit.
