TRIP IDEA
Vintage Shopping in the Bay of Quinte
There’s something satisfying about finding the thing you weren’t looking for. A perfectly worn-in jacket, a mid-century lamp, a stack of old cookbooks, a piece of antique furniture or a one-of-a-kind object with a story behind it. Around the Bay of Quinte, the hunt takes you through downtown storefronts, antique shops, rural stops and community thrift stores. Here’s where to go vintage hunting across Brighton, Quinte West, Belleville, Kenhtè:ke (Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory) and Greater Napanee.
