30 Oct West Palm Set up news!
Hello West Palm Beach Dealers!
We are gearing up for a MONSTER November West Palm Beach Antique Festival, November 6–8! We’re filling BOTH the East Expo and West Expo buildings, bringing together an incredible collection of antiques, vintage, jewelry, decorative arts, furniture, collectibles, and everything in between.
With two Expo buildings operating, it is especially important that everyone follows the correct arrival and setup procedures. Please read the information below carefully.
BOOTH ASSIGNMENTS – COMING EARLY NEXT WEEK!
Booth assignments will be emailed early next week.
Your booth number will tell you which building you are in:
- W = WEST EXPO – Booth numbers beginning with W are located in the West Expo.
- E = EAST EXPO – Booth numbers beginning with E are located in the East Expo.
Please check your booth assignment before arriving so you know which gate to use.

LET’S PUT ON A GREAT SHOW!
We are bringing together one of the largest collections of dealers we’ve assembled in West Palm Beach, and our goal is simple: get everyone unloaded, set up, and ready to sell with as little confusion as possible.
Two Expo buildings, hundreds of dealers, thousands of customers, and more antiques than any reasonable person should be allowed to assemble in one place.
Welcome to November in West Palm Beach!
Thank you for being part of our continued growth. We appreciate your cooperation, your professionalism, and your commitment to making this festival a success.
See you Thursday!
