Time to thrift Canberra. 

The world’s biggest fashion market is kicking off its massive 2026 tour right here in the capital. On Saturday January 31stFashion Thrift Society (FTS) will transform the Coorong Pavilion at Exhibition Park into a vibrant hub of fashion from 10 am to 3 pm. 

This isn’t your average market. FTS brings together hundreds of curated sellers, from vintage collectors to emerging slow-fashion labels, offering unique pieces you won’t find anywhere else. Think cult brands, independent designers, and racks of pre-loved treasures waiting for a new home.

Step inside and you’ll find a buzzing space filled with experiences: 

  • Tattoo & piercing stations 
  • Permanent jewellery & nail art 
  • Aura readings, tarot, and henna 
  • Custom photo booths & jewellery-making pop-ups 
  • Hair stations for fresh cuts and blow waves 
  • Record hub for vinyl lovers 
  • All-day DJ sets from emerging artists 

And when you need a break? Grab a bite from the food trucks or unwind with a drink at the 18+ pop-up bar.
