If you’re planning to visit Columbia’s Soda City Market this weekend, you may notice a new set of young artistic vendors.
For the third time since 2024, the creative travelling outlet known as Thrift Street will rejoin the Soda City Market Saturday, Feb. 21, outside of Columbia’s Art Museum from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The outlet, which creates space for a variety of young artists to showcase and sell their work, primarily features music, food and vintage clothing for sale.
Saturday’s event will include 30 new vendors, offering a wide range of creative expressions amid the already bustling Soda City Market. The last time Thrift was in town was Nov. 15, 2025.
Soda City, a producer-only-market, where vendors are required to grow or create their own products, marks an ideal fit for Thrift, which only sells original hand-crafted items.
Beginning as a small vintage market in Clover, S.C., Thrift Street expanded into a “traveling creative experience”, as first reported by Carolina News and Reporter. Besides Clover, events have been held in Columbia and Rock Hill.
The State was unable to reach Thrift ahead of Saturday’s event.
Besides, clothing, art and music, Thrift also has a production company — The Sun is Against Us — and dabbles in short films including “Mumbo Jumbo” and “A Taste of Your Love.”
