The 40th annual Gypsy Caravan, benefiting the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, is on Monday and is one of my FAVORITE local events! Since 1973, the St. Louis Symphony Volunteer Association has presented one of the largest antique, craft and flea markets in the Midwest, raising over $3.4 million in support of the STL Symphony.
I can assure you that this event is the BEST if you love antiquing and treasure hunting like ME!
Vendors come from 20 states, as far away as Texas, Florida, and Louisiana. They will be selling something for everyone: antiques, collectibles, crafts, jewelry, furniture, clothing, imports, yard art and more. Delicious food and beverages are also a part of this holiday tradition. Vendor list HERE.
