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.

• Shop curated stationery you won't find in any chain store
• Discover independent South African brands and makers
• Experience live calligraphy and paper craft demonstrations
• Learn in hands-on workshops (limited seats, book early)
• Connect with a community that understands the obsession
• Take home a gift bag packed with stationery goodness

Who Is This For?

This event is for journalers, bullet journalists, planners, pen collectors, paper artists, stationery haul enthusiasts, and anyone who believes that writing by hand still matters. If you follow stationery accounts on Instagram and your wishlist is longer than your budget, you are exactly who we built this for.
