Join us and over 90 vendor booths for an indoor vintage shopping experience in Providence, Rhode Island. Little City Thrifty features home decor, books, records, art, jewelry, size inclusive clothing, and more, at all price points, across eras. Vendors will be bringing their amazing collections, which range from vintage designer items to t-shirts to barware to pottery and art - and everything in between.

This ridiculous rally of rummaged regalia is over two days at Providence's most revered venue, The WaterFire Arts Center. Spend a few hours with us, have a cocktail, mocktail, or beer at the Inside Voices bar or a cup of coffee from New Harvest Coffee Roasters, grab lunch from our two on-site pop-up restaurants (including vegan and gluten free options), and pick through over 15,000 square feet of buried treasure.
