Goodwill Thrift Party Bus

Thrifty adventures, buckle up for an unforgettable ride! The Thrifting Bus Tour  is BACK by popular demand in Edmonton and Calgary!

We are taking dedicated thrifters across each city to various thrift stores to shop until they drop in style!

August 17, National Thrift Shop Day is celebrated across North America annually. To mark the occasion, Goodwill is hosting the Goodwill Thrift Party Tour Bus touring across the cities of Calgary and Edmonton from 10:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.

With multiple stops, shoppers will have time to visit Goodwill locations across the city, experience a private BIN Shopping excursion and a private lunch. In Edmonton, there is an additional location to visit More Than a Fad Thrift store, as we celebrate all non-profit second-hand stores on National Thrift Shop Day.

This is a FULL day of thrifting, with transportation provided so you can sit back and relax between stops. There will be special goodies at each stop, interactive games and a whole lot more!
