Once a year, purveyors of antique textiles, furniture, jewelry, decor, and so very many amazing garments gather at Union Brewing for the Baltimore Vintage Expo. The one-day event offers shoppers a highly curated selection of goods from various eras and styles, guaranteeing there’s something for everyone—from polyester leisure suits to nipple-tastic wall art for the wood-paneled basement bar of your dreams.
Founded by the brains behind local vintage dealers Bottle of Bread and Milk & Ice (read our profile of the latter from Issue 11 here) the BVE has been going strong since 2016. The 2024 spring edition took place on Sunday, May 19th, and featured over 50 vendors from across the region.
Photographer E. Brady Robinson was on hand to check out the goods and the people-watching, which is always half the fun. If you need further evidence to support this claim, check out her photos from the Fall 2021 Baltimore Vintage Expo here.
