WAYNESVILLE — Waynesville is known for two things: antiques and festivals.

The former of course is pronounced in the village’s very motto, while the calendar of festivals held here range from health care to the Second Saturday Strolls to the ubiquitous Sauerkraut Festival in the fall.

This Sunday, May 30, the village’s two loves will be combined for the Old Main Street Antique Show.

More than 40 antique vendors will line downtown Waynesville’s main artery, standing side-by-side with the town’s permanent antique dealers that have made Waynesville the antique capitol of the Midwest.

“The festival will have all varieties of antiques from furniture to glassware to gardening supplies,” said Dawn Schroeder, director of the Waynesville Chamber of Commerce.

Schroeder said the Old Main Street Antique Show is entering its 15th year and is one of the more popular festivals in Waynesville’s burgeoning calendar of events.

“Waynesville is obviously known for its antiques dealers, so this just adds something extra to an already great thing,” Schroeder said. “There are a lot of tremendous bargains to be had as well.”

The festival will be held rain or shine along Main Street, the central downtown road of Waynesville. The street will be blocked off for the day.
