The Antiques & Collectibles Music Experience Festival (ACME Fest) promises to be a unique festival for music lovers and collectors. With over 300 dealers of antiques and collectibles, the show will also feature live bands and celebrity guests. Attendees can groove to the sounds of music (including Rick Derringer, The Drifters, and Ray Manzarek of The Doors), meet celebrities (including Cindy Williams and actors from "American Grafitti"), and purchase antiques and collectibles. The show will take place in Boston, Massachusetts on September 14-15. Show attendance is expected to reach over 10,000 each day.

ACME Fest is being produced by Gary Sohmers, owner of Wex Rex, host of talk radio program "Calling All Collectors," and widely known as an appraiser in Pop Culture Collectibles & Toys on the PBS TV program, "Antiques Roadshow." The Antiques Festival is being produced by John & Tina Bruno of Flamingo Promotions. For more information, email allcollectors@aol.com.
