Fashion Forward and Earth Friendly

Beyond the joy of discovery, the Ottawa Community Thrift & Vintage Market champions sustainability.

It’s an opportunity to connect with local vendors, share stories about your finds, and meet fellow thrift enthusiasts. Enjoy a friendly atmosphere where conversation flows as easily as the browsing. We encourage everyone to come out, whether you're a seasoned thrifter, a vintage connoisseur, or simply curious about sustainable living. There will be plenty of space to explore, mingle, and soak in the vibrant energy.
