Denham Springs Antique Village — Attraction in Denham Springs

Rant: The creole collection

This event was VERY POORLY PLANNED. I attended today with macie, and arrived at 11 am when the event started. We waited in line for 45 minutes on arriving for a picture, where she had nothing else to do but stand in line for 45 minutes. There wasn’t music playing and nothing for the kids to do other than stand in line and wait. Once we took our picture, we had absolutely nowhere to sit. We had to ask multiple times for a table (it wasn’t just us it was others too) before one was finally set up for us in the back. Now we are an hour and a half into the event. We wait in line for lunch and by the time we got up there they were out. The venue staff apologized and said that they oversold on tickets and the venue was not notified. We said it showed because we didn’t have anywhere to sit. We paid $70 to attend this event, and it was beyond miserable. There was no order and those poor princesses did the best they could. I will not attend another event that is put on by the creole collection again. I’m even more disappointed that they have deleted my comments instead of acknowledging or even apologizing. I have now been blocked from being able to comment on anything. I never got a response from the business, they just deleted and blocked me, as well as others who have attended. My comments and other people’s who have attended were deleted and not acknowledged, so here’s my review 🙂 save...

Changes to the Antique Village!

For those that don't visit often, the Antique Village has made some changes recently. For one, the old bookstore relocated to what used to be a hotel, right beside their old location, and their old location is now a fitness center/clothing outlet. The TOLA Cafe is now a Tattoo shop, called Faithful Studios. Their work quality is absolutely phenomenal, and rivals the best shops in 225, including th Burning Lotus, on top of having an ATM inside the shop, which is open to the general public, making for great convenience for anyone visiting the district.

Definitely check the area out, there's much more to enjoy as well, such as the brewery right down the street, which provides incredible food on top of their live music performances and excellent beer, the Cafe Du Town, which has indoor and outdoor seating, and a covered patio with lounge chairs perfect for reading, and one of my favorite little shops, the Mayfield Mercantile, which has some of the best candy and fudge...

Denham Springs Antique Village is like stepping into a time machine—except instead of buttons and flashing lights, it smells like old books, polished wood, and sweet nostalgia. You don’t just shop here—you wander. One minute you’re looking at vintage glassware, the next you’re holding a 1960s Elvis lamp you suddenly can’t live without.

The shop owners are friendly, welcoming, and full of stories that are almost as good as the treasures they sell. Whether you’re a serious collector or just out for a Saturday stroll, there’s something here for everyone—quirky finds, one-of-a-kind pieces, and that joyful moment when you realize you’ve found the perfect thing you weren’t even looking for.

It’s Southern charm, small-town hospitality, and a treasure hunt all rolled into one. Five stars, and an extra gold star if you manage to leave without buying at least one thing you didn’t...
