(Lincoln City, Oregon) - It’s about the biggest thing in the realm of old things you can imagine: thousands make their way to the central coast town of Lincoln City every year for a ten-day festival of all things antique. Lincoln City’s Antique Week kicks off this week, on February 8, and runs until February 18, with a bevy of activities all over town, including appraisals by national TV figure Harry Rinker.

It’s all about events for the antique enthusiast. Antique shops and dealers will have sales for the entire ten-day period, offering fascinating treasures at more than 100 dealers. Along with antique sales there will be museum exhibits, a clue game, historic tours of Lincoln City, a special float drop of nearly 500 vintage Japanese floats, a special Valentine’s Day concert featuring gypsy romance music by violin virtuoso Kim Angelis, and a silent movie showing at the historic Bijou Movie Theater.
