Itinerary for a Vintage Visit to St. Jacobs
1. Antiquing – a Great way to Connect to a Simpler Time
At Market Road Antiques, you’ll find over 20,000 square feet of space filled with over 100 vendors just waiting for you to discover their offerings! Lose yourself in this world of vintage treasures: from jewelry, quality furniture, books and art, to toys, vinyl records and other collectibles, it’s all under one roof at Market Road Antiques. Take your time, and have fun as you stroll through the aisles. Each item has a unique story – and the Market’s friendly vendors are happy to share that story with you! It’s like a grown-up field trip to another era; don’t be surprised if you end up connecting with a piece (or two!) that’s perfect for your home or cottage.
Looking for another reason to go antiquing in St. Jacobs this New Year? Each February, Market Road Antiques features its Winter Warm-Up Sale – where the already great deals become even better, as prices are rolled back on almost everything! (It’s a little relaxation for your wallet too after a hectic holiday season!).
Market Road Antiques is open every day, including Family Day (February 17th), so include a visit into your long weekend plans!

2. St. Jacobs – a Village full of Old World Charm and Contemporary Style
From vintage shopping to a village that’s full of vintage charm – welcome to the beautiful Village of St. Jacobs. This friendly, walkable town is steeped in history: it’s not unusual to hear the gentle clip-clop of Mennonite horse and buggies as they drive down the main street. St. Jacobs is also home to one of a kind shops with a contemporary flair, foods ranging from homestyle favourites to innovative entrees, and locally crafted beers and coffees. Embrace winter, and head out on one of the many trails that make their way around and through St. Jacobs – walk, snowshoe, cross country ski or even cycle and enjoy St. Jacobs’ charming rural vistas!
