Welcome to the Meister Markt Collector Show website.  The Meister Markt is a European style, indoor/outdoor antiques, nostalgia and collectables show and sale ideal for anyone interested in buying, selling and collecting things from the past, whether from the 1970’s or the nineteenth century.  We have hundreds of vendors, all in one great location, specializing in all fields, including, but not limited to furniture, jewelry, advertising, Canadiana, glass, toys, art, maps and prints, records, musical instruments, tools, coins and banknotes, folk art, militaria, costume jewelry, posters, clocks and watches, vintage clothing, books and magazines, lighting, silver, memorabilia and much, much more.

We hold a one day show, 3 times a year, with dealers from across Ontario, Quebec and beyond. Our event is held at The Markham Fairgrounds, a large indoor/outdoor venue on over 80 acres,  20 minutes north east of Toronto. We offer free parking for thousands of cars, a green country setting, various food concessions on site, full service washrooms and of course a great chance to find that special treasure you’ve been looking for. With over 40,000 sq.ft of indoor space alone we are also able to offer all of our outdoor vendors a space inside should it turn out to be a rainy day, which makes the show a great event no matter what the climate. Nice weather? Then we have an additional 150,000 sq. ft of outdoor vending space to stroll through.

Although most of our vendors are professional dealers, many with decades of buying and selling experience, we’re proud to welcome many new and part-time sellers. Because we offer great rates from as low as $30 we are encouraging people who don’t typically set up at shows but have a passion for collecting to give it a try. Our “CARBOOT” area is an ideal opportunity for the casual seller. Hugely popular in Europe, even inspiring a BBC television show, the carboot sale has now crossed the Atlantic. In this classic English/European concept, vendors drive up in their vehicles, pop the trunk and voila, antique dealer for a day. If you are one of the many whose collection has outgrown the house ( or basement, or garage…) this may be the perfect place for you. With little investment, you can take advantage of a great selling venue, thousands of potential customers, major marketing and promotion and the added benefit of having hundreds of dealers in 1 location.

The Meister Markt Collector Show is also a great place to get items identified and appraised. Whether it’s that funny little item your Great Aunt Daisy left you ( what is it anyway?) or the classic watch that belonged to your grandfather, we have specialists on site in most fields, from folk art to furniture, memorabilia to militaria and most everything in between. We offer 2 free verbal appraisals to each customer with a voucher, which can be obtained at the customer service desk. Please note, this offer is subject to specialist dealer availability.

VENDORS PLEASE NOTE: FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE WE OFFER FRIDAY AFTERNOON SETUP BETWEEN 3:00 & 7:00.
