Exhibition Halls
Lakewood Fairgrounds's most distinctive feature is its four distinctive Spanish colonial-style livestock exhibition halls. For over twenty years, the Lakewood Fairgrounds Antique Mall was held in the exhibition halls every second weekend of the month. Over 15,000 antique dealers were on hand for the monthly event, until the weekend of October 13–15, 2006, when the Lakewood Antique Market closed its doors for good. . The Fairground halls were leased for the Antiques market on as a 50 year lease from the City of Atlanta by Ed Spivia, who promoted it until it was established as an Atlanta icon.
