Renninger's Antique and Farmers' Market occupies a large property at 740 Noble Street in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, in northeastern Berks County. The site brings together several distinct markets that operate side by side: an indoor farmers' market, an indoor antique market, an outdoor flea market with covered pavilions, and a staffed consignment area. Together they form one of the larger weekend market destinations in the region, drawing shoppers from the Lehigh Valley, Reading, Allentown and the surrounding farm country.
The Kutztown location is part of the Renninger's Marketplaces family, which also includes a market in Adamstown, Pennsylvania, and two Florida locations in Mount Dora and Melbourne. The Adamstown and Kutztown sites are both well known within the Pennsylvania antiques trade, and the Florida markets follow a similar format of combined antique, flea and vendor markets.
The Farmers' Market
The indoor Farmers' Market operates on Fridays from 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM to 4 PM. It is organized as a series of individual dealer stands rather than a single grocery operation, which means shoppers move from vendor to vendor for different categories of goods. Standing offerings include fresh meat, seasonal produce, rotisserie chicken, cut flowers, bedding plants, candles and potpourri, along with prepared foods and other specialty items.
The mix makes the market useful for a weekly grocery run, for picking up plants and materials for gardening or landscaping projects, or for finding a gift. Many visitors treat it as a social stop as well, meeting friends for lunch before browsing the rest of the property.
The Vintage Antique Market
Antique dealers and collectors have been a fixture at Renninger's Kutztown since 1974, when the Farmers' Market relocated into what was then a new addition to the property and the antique dealers took over the space it vacated. That continuity of more than five decades has given the antique market a settled character and a base of long-standing dealers.
The Vintage Antique Market is open Saturdays from 8 AM to 4 PM. Inventory spans a broad range of categories, from formal antiques to the sort of unusual collectibles that reward repeat visits. The dealer roster includes vendors who specialize in narrow categories as well as generalists, so the stock changes noticeably from week to week. Both serious collectors working on specific hunts and casual browsers looking for decor or conversation pieces are common on a typical Saturday.
The Flea Market and Pavilions
The outdoor flea market and covered pavilions run Saturdays from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, opening earlier than the indoor markets for early risers and dealers. The lineup of sellers rotates from week to week, which keeps the merchandise unpredictable in the way that longtime flea market shoppers tend to prefer. Tables typically hold jewelry, glassware, tinware, textiles, primitives, small furniture, knick-knacks and genuine oddities.
One practical note: the outdoor flea market may not operate during Extravaganza weekends or certain special shows, so calling ahead at 610-683-6848 to confirm is a good idea if the flea market is the main reason for your visit.
Renninger's Kutztown Vintage
Renninger's Kutztown Vintage is a consignment operation located inside the Antique Market, open Fridays from 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM to 4 PM. It was created for dealers and sellers who cannot commit to being on site every weekend. Market staff handle sales on the consignor's behalf, so attendance is not required. Sellers can rent either a booth space or a showcase, depending on the size and value of what they are offering. For people downsizing a collection, settling an estate or simply testing the market without a full dealer commitment, the consignment area provides an entry point.
Vendor and Booth Rental
Renninger's rents space across all of its market areas, with terms that vary by section:
- Farmers' Market: booth spaces of approximately 10 feet by 10 feet are rented monthly, with pricing calculated by aisle foot. A security deposit equal to one month of rent is required, and rent is due the first Saturday of each month at the market office. Additional charges apply to stands with heavy electricity use.
- Consignment: booth or showcase space inside the Antique Market through Renninger's Kutztown Vintage.
Extravaganzas and Special Events
The Antique and Collector's Extravaganza is the market's signature event, expanding the property to hundreds of vendors. Merchandise at these weekends covers jewelry, furniture, primitives, taxidermy, paintings, books, ceramics, garden and architectural items, reclaimed wood, vintage toys and Christmas decor. The 2026 dates are September 25 and 26.
Beyond the Extravaganzas, Renninger's maintains a year-round event calendar. Recurring events include the Pa. Cannafest Fall Marketplace, a Chalk Festival paired with the Fall Craft and Vendor Show, the PEZ Gathering held in the White Room at the end of the Antique Market, and craft and vendor shows at the outdoor pavilion that typically feature food and live music.
Planning a Visit
Because the different markets keep different hours, it helps to plan around what you want to see. Saturday is the only day when all four operations run at once, with the flea market opening at 7:30 AM and the antique and farmers' markets following at 8 AM. Friday visits center on the Farmers' Market and the consignment area, both open from 10 AM to 6 PM. The property is large, parking is on site, and the combination of indoor and outdoor areas means a visit can stretch across several hours. The market office can be reached at 610-683-6848.
