Saugatuck Antique Market is such a treasure trove for vintage lovers! The booths are packed with nostalgia, from shelves lined with old soda and beer cans, retro advertising signs, and collectible potato chip tins to bins of small trinkets, toys, and marbles. I loved the mix of sports collectibles too—so many sealed packs of vintage baseball, basketball, and football cards, plus pop culture cards from the ’80s and ’90s. The space is huge and very well organized, with plenty of variety—furniture, clocks, artwork, glassware, and quirky one-of-a-kind finds. You can easily spend hours browsing each booth and still discover something new around every corner. It’s the perfect spot whether you’re a serious collector or just looking for a fun piece of nostalgia to take home. A must-visit when in Saugatuck!

The Saugatuck Antique Pavilion is a true hidden gem and a must-visit for any antique lover! This massive space is incredibly well-organized, making it easy to browse through hundreds of unique booths filled with everything from vintage furniture and home décor to rare collectibles, books, and retro finds. The quality and variety of items are top-notch—there’s truly something for everyone, whether you’re a serious collector or just looking for a special piece with character. The staff is friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. Prices are fair, and it’s easy to spend a couple of hours just soaking in the history and charm. We left with several treasures and can’t wait to come back. It’s also a great way to spend a rainy afternoon in Saugatuck. Highly recommend making this a regular stop on your Lakeshore adventures. Five stars all the way!

I have stopped here many times and always had wonderful shopping experience until yesterday. This is a buyer always be warned post, The booth was in the back right corner of the building 38?37? The women at checkout noted the women's name but the only detail I recall is she is the retired librarian. The purchase was a Tiffany clear salad bowl with box $125. Fair price they sell on eBay for anywhere from 70 to 130 depending upon box, non box, condition ect. My point this lady took the time to be very specifically devious she put a small strategically placed sticker on the bottom of the bowl to show the Tiffany signature and to show authenticity, she even wrote signature with a small arrow. The removal of her sticker showed the chip she was hiding. KARMA, and if she sits at church I hope the good lord helps sort out her heart. She is a very dishonest individual and brings a bad light to a really cool antique mall, I will note I have seen other dealers point out a small flaw to allow the customer to decide. Oh well my fault should have scraped that sticker off at check out. Won't be back there are other malls to visit. Shame on her. I'm the sucker Merry Christmas indeed.
