The Stanley Theatre will host the 21sth Annual Mohawk Valley Antiquefest presented by Vintage Furnishings
The Mohawk Valley Antiquefest returns to The Stanley Theatre in Utica. The show will be held on Saturday, January 29th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, January 30th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $8 per person, good for both days.
The floor plan will encompass the Lobby, Mezzanine, Romano Room, Full Stage and South Gallery Wing. Vintage Furnishings is enthusiastic about hosting the event at the historical Stanley Theatre. The top-notch antique show will feature 32 antique dealers from all over the northeast, glass grinding by Tony Perretta and a 50/50 Raffle to benefit Stanley Theatre.
Antique hunters and collectors come every year from Central New York and beyond to weed through the mass amount of valuables. Dealers have been known to save merchandise throughout the year for exposure to this audience.
"The show's popularity, with its eclectic array of dealers and enthusiastic audience of buyers, makes it a much-anticipated event every year," said organizer Gerald Dischiavo of Vintage Furnishings.
The show features a broad range of merchandise and collectibles, including furniture from country to formal, paintings, carpets, silver, estate jewelry, postcards, clocks, and this year featuring a dealer with antique dolls.
This year we will be featuring Fred Cappozzella with a wide variety of Utica memorabilia from the history of our city. He will have his display set up in the Romano Room and will even be doing a talk on the history of some of his items!
There will be food available for purchase as well as beverages.
Start the New Year off right and join us for "The Antique Show Everyone Waits For."

About The Stanley
For nearly a century, The Stanley has been bringing the community together with live concerts, Broadway shows, musicals, ballets, movies, graduations and recitals. Today The Stanley operates as a not-for-profit organization run by the Central New York Community Arts Council. Originally built as a movie theatre, The Stanley opened its doors in 1928 with 2,963 seats, a grand entry staircase that resembles the main staircase on the Titanic, a gold leaf interior and terra cotta and tiled mosaic exterior. Designed by renowned architect Thomas Lamb, whose remaining creations include The Stanley Theatre, Proctor’s Theatre, Schenectady, NY, and The Landmark Theatre, Syracuse, NY.
