Thriftapalooza is coming to Portland!

Portland is known for its thrifting scene. From flea markets to secondhand shops to buy nothing groups, our community embraces sustainability and waste reduction in our everyday lives.

If you love searching for new-to-you items and practicing sustainability, don’t miss Thriftapalooza. Come together with your community of conscious consumers for a secondhand shopping experience like no other.

The sustainable thrifting market is in town for one weekend only. Here’s how you can participate and get an exclusive discount on tickets.

Thriftapalooza: Attend the Sustainable Thrifting Market

Thriftapalooza is Saturday, March 1, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, March 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Portland Expo Center.

This event features hundreds of booths filled with unique finds.

Whether you’re a bargain hunter, secondhand trendsetter, collector or vintage enthusiast, there is something waiting for you to discover at this event. Thrift aficionados can revel in the thrill of finding one-of-a-kind pieces while championing environmental responsibility.

At this event, you’ll shop a variety of goods from local businesses, resellers and garage sellers. There are toys, handmade and upcycled goods, antiques, vintage items, clothing and collectibles.

The event also boasts mimosas, coffee and food vendors so you can sip or snack while searching for new-to-you treasures.

Thriftapalooza is more than just a secondhand shopping event. It fosters a community that practices conscious consumption and sustainable living.

You’ll leave the event feeling good about the positive impact you’ve had on the environment while bringing home items that reflect your unique style.

Want to Sell Your Stuff?

Instead of hosting your own garage sale, set up a booth at Thriftapalooza. Gather up your gently used items and earn some extra cash.

This event takes the hassle out of promoting your own sale and showcases your items to thousands of people all in one place.

The event has tiered booth pricing for businesses, resellers and garage sellers.

The thrift market is at Portland Expo Center, 2060 N. Marine Drive in Portland. Onsite parking is $12. I recommend taking public transportation. The most direct way to get there is on the MAX train yellow line, which drops you off a short walk from the expo center entrance.
