Labor Day weekend always draws crowds to the Coarsegold Historic Village in Madera County, California. It’s the site of the 23rd biannual Antique Peddlers Market from Friday, August 31 through Monday, September 3. The village is located at 35300 Highway 41 at Road 415 (behind the Teepee) in downtown Coarsegold. Admission is free; onsite parking is $3.

Browse acres of wonderful booths filled with quality antiques, collectibles and treasures. You’ll find plenty of food and entertainment too. The market is open from noon to dusk on Friday and 8 a.m. to dusk Saturday through Monday.

Home to a unique community of artists, artisans and merchants, Coarsegold Historic Village remembers the rough and ready mining days of the mid-1800s that put Coarse-Gold Gulch on the map. More than $1.5 million have been mined from area creeks since the town’s Gold Rush days. A number of original town artifacts have been preserved in the Village which recalls the life of bygone days.
