Epic Vintage Decorating Displays
Junk Bonanza is held at Canterbury Downs in Shakopee, MN, 30 minutes south of Minneapolis. With it’s high ceilings and sprawling spaces, dealers can reach to the sky with their elaborate displays. The ooh aah factor is definitely encouraged!
Creating beautiful displays is an art. I loved planning and crafting displays when I owned my store and sold in booths. I know firsthand how much effort goes into these displays, making them both beautiful and safe for the shoppers. The Junk Bonanza dealers pull out all the stops for these seasonal events. I love enjoying their hard work!
Best of Industrial Vintage Junk Finds
Junk Bonanza is just that; the best collection of vintage junk finds. This area loves industrial- styled vintage and the dealers have amassed their largest, wow-worthy finds to sell at this show. Huge banks of metal cubbies, architectural pieces and oversized cupboards are the anchor pieces for smaller vintage treasures. If you’re looking for impressive, unusual furnishings, you’ll find them en masse here.
Pretty Seasonal Decor Ideas and Accents
Junk Bonanza is held in the Spring, the Fall, and at Christmas and always inspires with lovely seasonal touches. Shoppers were scooping up live plants to usher in Spring. Topiaries, succulents, and other plants are the perfect pairing to rustic junk finds.
Winter has been long here and we are so ready to usher in Spring, pairing fresh plants with our old things! We can’t wait to enjoy our patios and porches again. I spied many amazing furniture pieces that would be fun porch decor!
Repurposed and Upcycled Vintage Finds
The creativity these dealers share is amazing. So many fun upcycled and repurposed vintage ideas. They are talented makers that are bringing new life to old things. Decorating your house with their creations is a sure way to have a unique, personal home.
Vintage Decor Ideas and Finds
There is something for every vintage collector and decorator here. Whether you like your vintage large or small, the variety is amazing. Yes, shoppers come from long distances for this show and bring trailers to haul their goodies home.
What Came Home with Me?
You may be wondering what came home with me? Well, the bag of freshly made mini doughnuts was yummy. But just before my friend and I headed for the car, I decided I needed to lift some weight…or maybe keep track of mine after the doughnuts;)
My old scale collection is large already, but this vintage floor scale caught my eye. I loved the green accents and cute drawer accent. It’s totally grimy and needs a good scrubbing. I’m hoping to expose more of the original vintage green paint. With a fresh plant or basket of fruit, I think it will be a fun centerpiece for the kitchen island.

I spotted that scale in your first photo . . . I would have snagged it too! Love a good junk show, thanks for taking us along 🙂
It’s a good thing I don’t live there. I would have spent so much money, Lora! And I don’t even have room for it all. That galvanized tub in the first picture would be great in the cut flower garden. And the white iron patio table set is so charming. So glad you shared this fabulous junk bonanza!
So fun, I love seeing these even though I’m too far away to go. Thanks Lora.
When was Junk Bonanza ? You never mentioned the dates. I have always wanted to go ! Looks wonderful. Sometimes I have trouble following your site and figuring out where to go next. Lots of scrolling. I feel like I miss things. Love your content !
Really enjoyed the pictures of all the wonderful stuff! One of these years I’ll be able to coordinate visiting my sis in Anoka & timing it with one of the shows!
Great idea; hope you can!
I would have been broke!!! That was amazing!! I would kill for that galvanized metal sink…it would look so good in my garden.
I was thinking it would be awesome in a laundry room! Yes, I had to hold myself back, indeed!
So many great finds. I was shopping your pics. What a fun event.
Yes, it’s so fun!
I haven’t gone for a few years but it is totally cool!! So many pretty things. I enjoyed your pics, Lora!!
I hate to miss it; always a shot in the arm!
Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you found a unique treasure.
I attended Junk Market back in the day (I was into junk before it was cool!) with Ki & Whitney but haven’t been to Junk Bonanza.
I have always wondered if they sell much out of their beautiful displays. What do you think? I heard Junk Jubilee in Des Moines wasn’t a very good show for selling this spring.
While I don’t mind digging thru a pile of junk with all the grime & grease I just can’t sell it till I clean it up….so I understand your statement!
I think they restock all weekend long, so their displays always look good. I’m sure dealers have to analyze if it’s worth their time and effort; it’s a lot of work! Many come from far away & have to spend the weekend in trailers or hotels.
Well this was fun…what a huge venue that building is. I’m like you, having done Art/Craft shows and also having a shop for 10 years. Display is Play…I always said, and these are wonderful! It’s just hard to think my childhood home items are now…’Antiques’ or seriously Vintage. LOL. Sandi
I know, right? When I see items from the 70’s I played with, I just laugh;)
Junk Bonanza looks AMAZING! I want to go!!!
It is pretty special!
