The ‘biggest second-hand market to hit the Cape’, AKA Thrift Fest is hot on the scene for its monthly Obs-fficial adventure through time and space in the form of vintage clothes and numerous racks to navigate through.
With 50 stalls to choose from and choices boasting stacks of retro dreams, handmade creations and flavours of creativity giving retail a run for its money, this is one fest that you don’t want to raincheck on.
Situated in the heart of Obs for this run at the picture-book aesthetic of a Victorian-era building, pre-loved items roar with the essence of new-age thinking.
And, for those who’d rather attend a foodie festival, there are plenty of treats as well as coffee delights to look forward to, so come as hungry as a wolf ready to rock retro desires.
Speaking of canines, you are more than welcome to bring your dogs along for the trip.
Details:
- When: Saturday, 5 March
- Where: Observatory Community Centre
- Time: 9:30am-2:30pm
- Price: R10 for adults, and R 5 for anyone under the age of 12.
Don’t forget the ethical ethos of the festival! Thrift Fest will double as a recycling drop-off point on the day. If you bring along 1 sorted plastic Black Bag of recycling, you’ll even get free entrance.
