MANCHESTER, N.H. – The 2020 edition of the New Hampshire Antiques Dealers Association’s (NHADA) annual antiques show in Manchester, New Hampshire, has been canceled. It is the first time in the show’s 62-year history that a year has ever been skipped.
NHADA president Thomas M. Thompson issued an announcement confirming the cancellation of this year’s edition of the Annual New Hampshire Antiques Show, adding that the popular Americana event featuring 67 highly select dealer-members will return August 12-14, 2021 at the Doubletree By Hilton in Manchester.
Thompson released this public letter:
Dear Customers and Friends of the NHADA Annual New Hampshire Antiques Show,
Due to the unprecedented health situation in the U.S. and worldwide, the NHADA Board of Directors has come to the difficult decision that the Annual New Hampshire Antiques Show, scheduled for August 6-8, 2020, will be postponed until 2021.
After carefully considering all components of promoting an antique show of this caliber, the overriding factor is the health and safety of all involved.
We will miss the excitement of visiting with all of our customers and friends who travel from far and wide to attend this exceptional event. As the cornerstone show of NH Antiques Week for more than 60 years, we’ll be back with an extra-special show in 2021.
We wish you all a safe year ahead and we look forward seeing you at the 63rd show in August 2021.
Sincerely,
The New Hampshire Antique Dealers Association Board of Directors and Show Committee
