In Short
Waxhaw's downtown, about 15 minutes down Providence Road from I-485, boasts an impressive collection of antique shops. An annual February show fills the streets with collectors and sellers from as far away as New York. Start with the Antique Mart, where merchants display their wares. Nearby, peek inside The Rusty Hinge, then head up the hill to the Loose Moose Antique Emporium. When you're tired of shopping, stop by the cafes for a bite to eat.
