FROM THE VAULTS … FETISH WALK & MEET N’ GREET PHOTOS FROM 2023!

2023 was a huge year for Vancouver Fetish Weekend! So big that we still have photo galleries coming from it!

Check out this set from the vaults which dropped, covering the Thursday Meet & Greet, and the Saturday day time Fetish Walk!

The Thursday night Meet & Greet is always such a special vibe, as kinksters from around the world reconnect after not seeing each for some time, and there’s always a crazy high spirited energy as the club fills up! Even though there’s no dress code at this event, and many people literally have arrived in the city and checked into the hotel just an hour or two before the party or even DURING the party, we love that tons of people still dress up even for this shoulder night to the weekend! The outfits just get more and more dialled every year, even on the CASUAL night! Why miss the opportunity to show off another outfit, right?

The daytime Fetish Walk on Saturday is also always a great and casual vibe! There is strength in numbers and our big group of kinksters always causes a stir along the way, until the ending point where we meet up at the pub takeover on Davie Street in Vancouver’s Gay Village of the West End. There’s always some completely unexpected moments along the way … in this case, when we arrived at the Art Gallery steps, which is a popular destination for groups of all types to talk photos, there was a wedding party taking photos. We stayed discreetly off to the side until they had finished, but once they had moved on and we then assembled our big group on the steps, the bride and groom came rushing back and asked if they could take photos with everyone. Now THOSE are some golden wedding photos that come with a story!

VFW2024 FIRST LOOKS!

Here’s some first looks from Vancouver Fetish Weekend 2024, courtesy of Frankie Panky Photography!

CLICK THROUGH to see the full gallery!

The full galleries won’t be read for some time yet, as we are very meticulous with making sure every photo only features willing participants, to preserve everyone’s anonymity other than the intended subjects of the photos – this takes time! Plus we always put a little extra effort into the preparation of every photo, as we want everyone’s photos from VFW to be their favourite photos ever!

HUGE THANK YOU to all our local Vancouver kink community who represented and then some, and to all the fetish travellers who came from far flung corners of the world to be with us! Every year our bonds grow stronger, and new friendships and connections get formed, which is always the #1 takeaway we try to foster for everyone who takes part The level of creative outfits, self-expression and kink play was OFF THE CHARTS this year!

HUGE THANK YOU to our event and venue staff and set up volunteers, who all worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make each gathering a seamless experience for all in attendance, despite the inevitable 911 emergencies and last minute pivots needed to keep everything moving forward no matter what unexpected hurdles get thrown at us! All the events were a feast for the senses, in no small part due to the work of our tech production team! Believe us when we say, all the venues we use do not normally look like that, and every year we get told by the venue staff – “This is the best the venue has ever looked!” We bring out ALL the bells and whistles to create the best possible environment for our VFW attendees to cut loose in!

HUGE THANK YOU to our admissions and dress code team, and back stage manager, who kept everything on track and flowing smoothly!

HUGE THANK to all our performers and go-go dancers who turned the heat UP and got our hearts racing!

HUGE THANK to our designers and models who turned it OUT on the runway with some truly inspirational looks and moments!

HUGE THANK YOU to all our DJs who kept the pulse of each party pounding!

HUGE THANK YOU to all our kink play gear providers, host dominatrixes and dommes, and consent & vibe monitor team, who both set up all the areas for everyone to unleash their pervy play in public, but also for keeping everything safe, sane and consensual all the way through!

HUGE THANK YOU to our photo and video team who captured it all on film and who will be spending many, MANY hours turning those digital information banks into viewable photo galleries and video highlights for us all to enjoy!

Can’t wait to do it all over again in 2025!
