The Road Trip Market Comes to Boone County
If you love browsing handmade finds, vintage treasures, and one-of-a-kind pieces you won't see anywhere else, block off the first weekend of October. The Road Trip Market is setting up at the Boone County Fairgrounds, and it's the kind of local event we love pointing our neighbors toward.
The Details
The market runs Saturday, October 3 (VIP early entry at 9am, general admission 11am–4pm) and Sunday, October 4 (10am–3pm) at the Boone County Fairgrounds, 5819 Idlewild Rd. in Burlington — about 10 minutes off I-75 in Florence, and an easy 25-minute drive from downtown Cincinnati.
What to Expect
Organizers describe it as an open-air boutique market featuring hand-selected artisans, makers, and vendors with unique, vintage, and handcrafted goods — plus food trucks on-site, so you can make a full afternoon of it. It's a family-friendly event built around supporting small businesses, which is exactly the kind of community energy Northern Kentucky does so well.
A Local Favorite, Run by a Friend
We're especially glad to share this one because it's organized by Erica, a friend of ours who's put real heart into building something special for this area. Advance tickets are available online, and we'd recommend grabbing yours early — events like this tend to fill up fast once word gets out.
If you're planning a weekend in Boone County, we'd love to see you there.
