Second Hand Thrift Fest

About Second Hand

Running since 2014, Second Hand has hosted hundreds of thrifting festivals in and around Cape Town, South Africa. Starting out as a Facebook group marketplace for selling secondhand items in South Africa, a real-life marketplace was soon set up.

The fests are run in a variety of locations, from the beachside area of Kalk Bay to the hustle and bustle of Observatory. Enjoy browsing the different items on sale, including delicious foods and breathtaking artwork. Jam out to the music we have our DJs playing or relax while having a picnic.

Save the planet, eat delicious food and get some bargain clothing while you're at it. Everybody is welcome at Second Hand, just bring along good vibes!
