Dallas: The Time Travelers Vintage Expo returns to Fair Park on February 22, featuring over 100 vendors offering a wide variety of retro items. Founded in Tulsa, the event aims to create unique connections and an alternative shopping experience away from fast fashion.
The Time Travelers Vintage Expo, a significant event for enthusiasts of vintage and retro goods, is set to take place on February 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Centennial Hall in Fair Park, Dallas. With over 100 vendors, the expo promises a diverse array of vintage and retro-inspired clothing, accessories, jewellery, rugs, artwork, pottery, vinyl records, collectibles, and much more.
Since its inception in April 2022 as a local monthly pop-up market in Tulsa featuring just over a dozen vendors, the expo has evolved rapidly. By the end of its first year, it had garnered substantial popularity and was ready to expand beyond its local roots. In 2024, it reached a dozen cities and will further extend to 16 cities across the country in 2025.
The expo aims to create a unique shopping experience that goes beyond merely purchasing items. Founding member Sarah Frick emphasised the importance of fostering connections amidst the dominance of online shopping, stating, “For our attendees, we’re honoured to offer an alternative to shopping fast fashion and an introduction to artists and curators they may not have found otherwise.”
The expo not only provides a marketplace, but it also cultivates a distinctive atmosphere, complete with curated Spotify playlists to enhance attendees’ experiences as they browse through the eclectic offerings.
Admission for the event is priced at $13, with free entry for children aged 12 and under. Additional discounts are available for military personnel, seniors aged 65 and above, and students aged 13 to 18.
This event is being promoted through the Go See DFW calendar, a collaborative effort between KERA and The Dallas Morning News, as part of a wider initiative focused on arts access and community engagement.
