Shop ’til you drop with three days of antiques, art, design & jewelry at Theta Design Weekend‘s home décor and interior design show, happening Friday, December 1 through Sunday, December 3, 2017.
Held in the heart of Downtown, the three-day shopping extravaganza will play host to clever, design-inspired holiday revelers and shoppers.
