Vintage Market Days opens for three-day stint at Finley Center

Vintage Market Days opened Thursday for a three-day stint at the Finley Center in the Hoover Metropolitan Complex.

The event includes 76 vendors of vintage and vintage-inspired goods, repurposed furniture, architectural salvage materials, farmhouse décor, clothing, jewelry and gourmet food, said Kim Denard, one of the promoters.

They take up half of the Finley Center’s main floor — about 42,000 square feet.

This is Vintage Market Days’ fourth Birmingham area event and second at the Finley Center. The first was held in a former Kmart building in Irondale, and the second was at the Talladega Superspeedway.

The event moved to the Finley Center this past September and drew about 4,400 people over three days, Denard said. Vintage Market Days will return to the Finley Center again Sept. 24-26 of this year, she said.

“This facility is second to none, and the staff is extremely helpful,” Denard said. “We love them here. It’s a safe area. It’s easily accessible, and there are no parking problems.”

Admission costs $11, and the ticket is good for re-entry all three days. Children age 11 and younger get in free. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The city of Hoover charges $5 for parking.
