Joburg Stationery Fest

If you've ever chosen a notebook by how it feels in your hand, spent too long in a stationery aisle, or found genuine joy in a perfectly inked pen, this event was made for you.
On Saturday, 27 February 2027, Jopburg Stationery Fest opens its doors for the very first time. We're bringing together Johannesburg's most passionate stationery lovers for one beautifully curated day celebrating the art and joy of paper.
What to Expect
Browse and shop from 20+ carefully selected independent South African stationery brands, makers, and artists all under one roof. From journals and planners to fountain pens, washi tape, calligraphy, paper art, wax seals, hand-bound notebooks, and everything in between.
This is not a general market. Every exhibitor has been hand-picked for quality, creativity, and love of craft. You will leave inspired and probably with a very full bag.
