The Jonathan Fisher House Antiques Show


The Fisher House's major summer fundraiser, the Jonathan Fisher Antiques Show, has become one of the most popular summer shows in Maine.  Chaired by Marilyn Whittlesey, it is an old fashioned outdoors show, held at the Blue Hill Fairgrounds.  High quality, yet unpretentious and fun, the show features a wide variety of carefully selected dealers selling something for everyone, from Bakelite Jewelry to 18th century lowboys. The entertaining variety, combined with demonstrations by noted local craftspeople, and delicious locally made food at the catering stand, plus the neighboring farmer's market, make this show a lively event for customer and dealer alike.

 Held the middle Saturday of August, at the peak of the summer season, the show is limited to forty dealers.  Due to the high volume of returning dealers each year, space is limited.  Applications are open to new dealers after March 15th, at which time contracts will be available on the Fisher House website.  Further information is available by writing us at antiqueshow@jonathanfisherhouse.org
