Little City Thrifty Vintage Market 2026

Little City Thrifty Vintage Market, one of the largest curated indoor vintage shopping events in New England, returns to Providence on March 7 & 8, 2026 at WaterFire Arts Center. Little City Thrifty will showcase an eclectic lineup of over 90 vintage booths, featuring vendors from Rhode Island and 11 other states, traveling in from as far as Michigan, with an unmatched selection of pre-loved and size-inclusive vintage clothing, home décor, vinyl records, books, barware, art, collectables, ephemera, jewelry and accessories, and much more, across all price points.

“From our very first market to now, Little City Thrifty has always been about bringing people together around a shared love of vintage,” says co-founder BJ Mansuetti. “To be able to have such a supportive, enthusiastic, and vibrant community of shoppers and dealers all in one room is really an honor. Everyone shows up with intention, kindness, and generosity for one another. Seeing that dynamic continue to build and the community continue to grow has been a beautiful experience and we’re looking forward to another great event in March.”

Robin Dionne, Mansuetti’s wife and business partner in Little City Thrifty, adds, “As someone who has collected and sold vintage for years, I love seeing people fall in love with pieces that already have a story. Little City Thrifty brings our love of re-use and recycling to life in a joyful, celebratory way, while also allowing us to stay committed to composting and thoughtful waste practices so we can lessen our environmental footprint and keep as much as possible out of the landfill.”

Alongside vintage shopping, attendees can enjoy food from two favorite local restaurants, a full bar from Inside Voices serving beer, specialty cocktails, and mocktails, plus coffee from New Harvest Coffee Roasters and sparkling mineral water from Topo Chico. Entry includes a drink ticket, redeemable for a complimentary small drink from participating beverage sponsors or a discount on full-sized beverages.

The two-day event will run from noon to 6pm, with a special 11am Early Buying Hour each day. Early Buying Hour shoppers are allowed to enter the event an hour before doors open to get first access to vendors’ rarest finds and receive a limited-edition tote bag printed in Providence by Hungry Ghost Press. Purchasing tickets in advance is encouraged as the event frequently sells out in advance. Tickets start at $8 in advance and $10 at the door, if still available.  For a full list of vendors and to purchase advance tickets, visit www.littlecitythrifty.com.
