Shows are scheduled the second weekend in April and October. Shows are Saturdays 9 AM to 6 PM and Sundays Noon to 5 PM.
Old Sorehead Trade Days gathers vendors from all over Texas and the southwest. If you can imagine it, you can find it at Old Sorehead Trade Days. Woodcrafts, wearable art, hand-poured candles, metal art -- the list goes on and on!
If you're looking for a touch of country, this is it! Sample the riches in the food courts (roasted corn, fajitas, funnel cakes and much more). Antiques of all varieties are bountiful. Come find jewelry, collectibles, clothing and more!
