The Thicket - Worcester MA

We're just one day away from our 2026 Thicknic happening THIS Sunday, June 14th 2026 from 12-4pm!

It's gonna be a hot one--but we're chill, and you can be, too, cause you're about to read our "what to expect" post about the clothing swap! We try to keep it simple cause this one is usually a big and busy one--please, please bring water bottles, take breaks and be as kind/give as much grace as you can despite the heat! We appreciate y'all being a rad, kind & supportive community in advance!

Drop any other swap-specific questions in the comments, we'll try to respond asap! Cheers & thanks!

We're excited to welcome Technocopia to this year's Thicknic!

is Worcester's own community makerspace, providing access to tools, skills, and creative opportunities for people of all backgrounds. Their mission centers on creativity, learning, repair, and community building—values we're thrilled to celebrate together at the Thicknic as they so align with our own!

Stop by their booth and say hello--they may be offering some on-the-fly mending as well as wares from some of their makers! Find them as well as all our vendors June 14th, 12-4pm at The Burncoat Center for Arts and Wellness

We are so delighted to welcome one of our oldest & dearest maker-pals, (Webster, MA) to this year's Thicknic! Amanda is a Thicket rockstar--sometimes seen behind the counter at the shop, often helping to wrangle inventory & always the creative force behind The Golden Foxxe's upcycled screen printed & linocut designs, this gal is a BUSY BEE.

Come see what goodies she's made especially for this year's Thicknic (hope you like one-of-a-kind plus-size upcycled garments!) & snag a new sticker or two! You can find Amanda along with all our vendors on the lawn at The Burncoat Center for Arts and Wellness THIS upcoming Sunday from 12-4pm!

We're just a few days away from this year's Thicknic event and we're delighted to share that some sweet folks from .your.labels will be tabling there!

Stop by to learn about their programming and efforts to provide local q***r youth safe spaces to explore self-expression and to help them embrace their most authentic selves! YAS! We love their mission and we hope you will say hello and find out more.

Find them and the rest of this year's Thicknic on Sunday, June 14th at 78 Burncoat Street in Worcester!

From a traveling sticker machine founded by , to beaded trinkets, art prints and buttons by , to .designs’ hand-carved figurines and custom apparel, this Afghan family are true masters-of-all-trades! Creating cool art for cool people, with even more awesome projects on the way!

would love to meet, chat, and exchange pet photos with you at their booth as they joing us for their very first Thicknic at The Burncoat Center for Arts and Wellness this Sunday June 14th from 12pm-4pm!

Joining us for the first time this year at the Thicknic, please join us in welcoming the talented .by.morgue to the party!

Creating handmade embroidery art (banners, hoops, canvases), hand stitched pins, stickers--we can't wait to see what Morgan brings to The Burncoat Center for Arts and Wellness on June 14th--and thankfully we don't have to wait too long until we can scope out her wares. Can you believe our Thicknic is just 7 days away?!

So stoked. See you there!

We are always finding new, weird and/or wonderful things over here—including this portrait painted of a woman named Eva who I am fairly certain could pass for in the right light?? Right?? 😆 swipe through for some very fab footwear (all available!), some goobers & the resurrection of the 2005-era pinned-back-bangs hair bump?! Hot, humid days call for something tried & true, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyways! Tomorrow we properly kick-off summer with the first of the season AND a (surprise!) lil’ popup from .harvest ✨🌈🥰💐 We’re OPEN at 10am! 10am!!

Hope you come through! Can’t wait to see you! 🩷
