Fair Sentimentai

A Unique Antiques and Vintage Fair to Take Place in Vilnius – “Sentimentai” Will Invite Visitors to Discover the Stories Behind Objects

On May 16–17, Vilnius will host the antiques, collectibles, and vintage fair “Sentimentai,” set to become a significant event for everyone who values sustainability, authenticity, and the longevity of objects. The fair will take place in the outdoor parking area of the Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Centre LITEXPO — an open-air space covering approximately 14,000 square meters. Several hundred vendors from Lithuania and neighboring countries will participate, offering visitors an exceptionally broad and diverse selection.

According to the organizers, “Sentimentai” is intended not only as a marketplace but also as a meaningful way to spend time. The fair will bring together experienced antiques experts, vintage enthusiasts, and traders from various cities across Lithuania, giving visitors the opportunity to explore a wide spectrum of old-object culture in one place. The event is open both to collectors and to those seeking original and distinctive details for their homes.

The value of the fair lies in live interaction and the opportunity to get to know objects more deeply. Visitors will be able to consult specialists and learn about the origin, age, or historical context of items — details that often go unnoticed. Such conversations encourage more responsible consumption and a more sustainable attitude toward objects, choosing items that have already stood the test of time over mass-produced goods.

The fair space will be filled with a sense of slow presence and discovery. Between tables and shelves, visitors will be able to wander unhurriedly, pause, touch time-worn surfaces, and hear stories that are never captured on labels. Each find will reveal itself in its own way — quietly telling tales of former homes, owners, everyday life, journeys, and celebrations that have passed but left a lasting trace.

The antiques, collectibles, and vintage fair “Sentimentai” will invite visitors to spend two days in an environment where objects search for new owners and visitors search for new discoveries. It will be an experience in which a simple walk turns into a slow, memorable journey through time, allowing people not only to see but also to feel the enduring value of objects.
