Round Top Antiques Show's new hall beckons Texas treasure hunters

It’s the best time of the year for antiques-loving Texans. As the 2026 Round Top Fall Antiques Show enters its second week, Texas Highway 237, aka “the Hill Country catwalk,” (about four hours south of Dallas) is kicking into high gear.

Keeping with tradition, the final Tuesday of the festival for which folks from everywhere flock to Round Top twice a year is opening day for Marburger Farm, considered the festival's crown jewel for close to 30 years.

Located on Main Street, between Tent 2 and "The Park," Marburger's new Gage Hall adds 7,500 square feet of temperature-controlled shopping space to the show. It includes 12 of the country's top designers and architects whose antiques and vintage pieces are sourced from around the world.

During the spring show last March, Marburger debuted phase one of an extensive restoration project that included updating and relocating 10 historic buildings, centralizing them around a newly-developed green space, and bricked walkways emulating a traditional town square. This fall, a new exhibition hall will be revealed, ending phase two of the ambitious 18-month-long project.
