Beginning on Saturday, Mar. 1 & 2, 2024, the Vintage Shop Hop is a self-guided day of vintage & boutique shopping held twice a year - 400+ vintage & antique shops, along with barn sales, women's boutiques & home decor shops in northern Illinois and much of Wisconsin to roll out the red carpet for you. You just have to grab your friends, hit the road, and shop hard!
Eleven shops are participating in Rockton, South Beloit, and Roscoe. The eight shops in Roscoe & Rockton are offering punch cards - so you don't forget to visit all eight shops. With your completed punch card, you'll be entered in a raffle to win $160 in gift certificates. The eight shops include A Little Bird Told Me, who has closed their store in Roscoe but will have a pop-up shop on Quail Trail by Aldi's on Rockton Road, selling vintage architectural decor from their packed warehouse. Later they will open a booth at Frosted Farmhouse in Rockton.

Each participating shop offers up an "in-store" promotion--fun things like discounts, demonstrations, artists on-site, prize drawings, treats, entertainment, food trucks, swag bags, punch cards, parking lot sales, and more...whatever they want to offer to customers to make your visit special. All shops will be open from at least 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and some earlier or later!
You can follow along on the Facebook page and pull up the interactive Google Map as you shop, showing all shop locations on your mobile device, making it easy to hop from shop to shop! And because it's built within Google Maps, you can also see restaurants, points of interest, gas stations, and more. Maybe a bed and breakfast where you can rest up! There is also a Master List of Shops, with all the detail you need to plan. Print it off and keep it in your glove compartment for your next road trip.
