Utica Antiques Market — Local services in Shelby Charter Township

I came here a couple of weeks ago with my mom because they had an event up on Facebook so we thought we'd give it a try because it's something different. When we pulled up, it was much bigger and totally not what I expected... In a good way. I wasn't expecting this huge outdoor venue with all of these venues and paid parking. If you're someone who really likes antiques and collecting knick knacks, then this is definitely your space. There's so much vintage and retro things that I don't even know where to begin. My mom, who is 50, would point out so many items to me that she recognized from her time. Despite it being scorching hot out this day, we still had a great time. The only thing I'd say is that their lemonade was okay. It's actually freshly made, which isn't what I was expecting. All the sugar had fallen to the bottom so I had to keep shaking it. Also I got lots of pulp in my mouth and even a couple of seeds. It's $5 but you get it in this giant sippy cup that can be reused or kept as a souvenir so you still get what you paid for.

Very disappointed in market - grounds we're nice - not enough concessions though . Very disappointed - and $5 is too high per person admission when the offerings we're not flea market enough. Parking and staff were wonderful - if you want to spend 5$ to walk around you...

Admission to look was a surprise. I found some nice things and most venders were really friendly and negotiate. You have to search for the good stuff, but OH MY GOD THE LAVA ROCK. Whoever decided to pave the road with the black lava rock should be smacked upside the head. I brought someone in a push wheelchair not knowing about the road. I have taken her through gravel, mud, wood chips, tree roots, and not one place has been as impossible to maneuver as this rock. We physically couldn't move through it. I was so exhausted after only the first 3 booths I was ready to go. Once you get to the grass it's fine but there is no way to avoid it. The grilled cheese food truck is...
