Lincoln City Retro Expo

This year, Explore Lincoln City is revamping the beloved Antique Week to Retro Expo! The new name celebrates a broader spectrum of shops around town, from the iconic Robert’s Bookshop to exciting new vintage boutiques that have recently joined the community. While the name has changed, the week-long fun remains the same - thrifting adventures, special sales, and an antique-style glass float drop.

Oregon Coast History

Soak in the history of the Oregon Coast as you hunt for quality antiques. For more than a decade, Lincoln City has been the place to go on the Oregon Coast if you are interested in antiques and collectibles. Antique shops and used bookstores abound in Lincoln City, once named one of the great undiscovered places to antique in the United States. While Lincoln City is one of the youngest cities on the Oregon Coast, formed in 1965, there is a rich history and a love of fine, old things.

• The Little Antique Mall is the largest antique mall on the Oregon Coast with over 80 dealers all under one roof. You will find primitives, furniture, pottery and gourmet coffee to taste. Their friendly staff can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
