Nope not a boat show BUT one of the best Vintage road trips in Iowa. Start in Jewell and go from there. But if you’re having fun and can only make 1 stop enjoy some food and cocktails at Juniper & Olive Co. and spend the day. (Though I also suggest Milford School House and especially JB Knacker.)

🚗✨ THE FALL CENTRAL IOWA JUNK JAUNT IS COMING! ✨🚗

Mark your calendars! September 25–27, 2026 is your chance to hit the road and shop your way through Central Iowa!

With 25 stops across Ames/Countryside, Boone/Countryside, Madrid, Nevada, Slater, Story City, Randall and Jewell, there's a LOT to explore! 🛍️🏚️✨

📅 Friday & Saturday: 9 AM–5 PM
📅 Sunday: 11 AM–3 PM

Whether you're hunting for vintage treasures, antiques, farmhouse finds, handmade goods or just love a good road trip…this one is for you!

👇 Let's start planning!
Which town would you hit FIRST on the Junk Jaunt?
Ames • Boone • Madrid • Nevada • Slater • Story City • Randall • Jewell

And tag your junk-jaunt buddy who needs to come along! 🚗💨

Save this map, share it with a friend, print it via the website and start making your route!

The Market was a great success along side our classic boat show. We can’t wait to do it again next year.
