Hi everyone,
This past weekend I attended the annual 'Adelaide Vintage Expo' that was held in the Ridley Pavilion at the Adelaide Showgrounds. I went on Saturday afternoon but the Vintage Expo ran Friday 17th through to Sunday19th August. Admission was AUD$7 for adults, AUD$5 Concession.
Initial thoughts when entering the pavilion were great! Great atmosphere with live 50's rock music by The Villenettes on stage, a hustle and bustle atmosphere, it was shoulder to shoulder. The demographic was young and old. A lot of young people, families with children and also older couples. There was something for everyone at the Adelaide Vintage Expo including: live swing dancing demonstrations, live rock music, burlesque, fashion parades and a compere hosting the live entertainment on offer!
This post is very [PHOTO HEAVY] but I hope it gives you an idea of what was on offer this year at the Adelaide Vintage Expo 2012.

Did you go to the Adelaide Vintage Expo 2012? What did you think?
I will definitely be going again next year. I'm going to start saving my pennies in my piggy bank now :) There were so many gorgeous items I would love to acquire next year. Prices varied significantly from stall to stall, many were quite pricey (for a student budget anyway) but I did see the occasional bargain!

ReplyDeleteHi :)
DeleteIt was a very fun Vintage Expo to attend. Most cities have great vintage markets and exhibitions, perhaps you could find some in your city. I would love to read you blog post about it. Thanks for commenting on my blog!
Love from Australia!
