1. It’s the largest antiques fair in the US, which began in the 1960’s and attracts more than 2,000 vendors every Spring and Fall.
2. It’s not all antiques. Hundreds of vendors from all over the country also sell modern furniture and goods.
3. Shopping is an adventure that can be experienced in mini-malls/ markets or the “Fields” with booths stretching along a 20-plus-mile stretch of Highway 237.
4. There’s great food! Check out these delicious options:

• Royer’s Pie Heaven is pie nirvana with both sweet and savory pies sold whole and by the slice along with coffee from Two Sparrow’s Roasting Company.
• Get your Tex-Mex fix at Los Patrones, with everything from enchiladas to fajitas and great margaritas.
• Teague’s Tavern has lone star favorites like chicken fried steak and Frito pie along with great burgers, craft beers, signature cocktails and live music.
• The wood-burning pizzas at Bistro Napoletana is stellar alongside great sandwiches and salads.
• Prost on Block 29 is a quaint wine bar with an extensive collection of wines from around the world. Charcuterie, artisanal cheeses and gorgeous olive mixes are a great compliment.

With a population of only 90 people, Round Top, Texas has earned a big reputation as the host of the state’s premier shopping events, the Original Round Top Antiques Fair in the spring and fall. During those weeks, the rural town swells, attracting thousands of collectors and dealers searching for and selling antiquities, garage sale goodies, and more along a 20-plus-mile stretch of Highway 237. However, thanks to its year-round shopping opportunities, ever-present charm, and convenient location (an hour’s drive from both Austin and Houston), the once-sleepy town is also becoming a popular weekend vacation destination.
