THANK YOU!

The last few trucks have been unloaded, all gear has been returned, and other than a few select kinksters who have stayed in Vancouver the extra week to experience the upcoming Gay Pride Weekend, all our international traveller fetish friends have returned home, drawing an official close to Vancouver Fetish Weekend 2023, by FAR the biggest one yet!

There’s already a sneak peek quick picks photo gallery up on the VFW website! Go check it out –> HERE

A GIGANTIC thank you to everyone who attended and brought your boundless creativity, energy and sexy self-expression to all the events! Without you, there is no festival! While the attendance grew about 20% bigger this year in terms of overall numbers, it absolutely felt like it grew by leaps and bounds way above that in terms of how hard everyone BROUGHT IT! Especial thank you to the rubber community who were a major force all weekend!

Thank you to our amazing performers and DJs! There were so many moments at all of the events that had all of our jaws dropping and causing the hugest roars from the audience!

Thank you to all the staff and venues who welcomed us in, loved every moment of having us there, and were so accommodating to all our crazy needs and requests for all the unique requirements that events like ours need to get the vibe just right.

Thank you to all our hard working volunteers and show staff who were there many hours before doors opened at every event, and also there hours afterwards! Not to mention our admissions team, dress code, dungeon monitors and hosts and consent staff, all of whom are the backbone of being able to keep our events a 100% immersive kink environment, as well as a safe & sane place to play.

Can you believe next year is the Vancouver Fetish Weekend 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY? We are expecting a HUGE jump in attendance! We will be making tickets and hotel bookings available MUCH earlier this year, to facilitate everyone making plans further out, so please keep an eye out for news of when they go live!

The event listings on Facebook and Fetlife are already up! Make sure to click on GOING, and to sign up to the Newsletter at the VFW website, to get notice of tickets and hotels the second it happens!

July 26 – Fetish Walk, Group Photo & Pub Patio Meetup

RSVP on FACEBOOK

The Fetish Walk & Group Photos start at 2 PM at the host hotel Holiday Inn at 1110 Howe, and the Pub Meetup starts at 3 PM at The Junction at 1138 Davie! Read on for more details!

DAYTIME KINK PHOTO & PUB PATIO MEETUP!

Join us at a FREE daytime activity for added fun and social connection during Vancouver Fetish Weekend 2023! Get together with fetish friends for a daytime group photo at a public landmark close to the host hotel, then meet up for cold drinks, brunch and good times on the sunny outside patio deck at The Junction on Davie St! Public appropriate fetish daywear highly encouraged but not required! We will be sending down our videographers and photographers and some of the gathering will be in the official video of VFW2023!

Join us for the Walk at 2, or just meet at the Pub at 3!

The meetup is open to any and all friends who want to participate, whether they are going to Vancouver Fetish Weekend or not! Come hang out!

1:45-2 PM – Meet up at the host hotel at the Holiday Inn at 1110 Howe, where host and tour guide Sly Foxxx will start the Walk at 2 PM.

The Walk is approximately 1.5 hours, but you are never far from the host hotel, if people want to drop off or join at any point!

2 – leave host hotel, walking down Davie Street, towards Roundhouse Skytrain.  We will be taking the Skytrain as a big group for one stop!

SKYTRAIN NOTES!!!

You do not need to buy a ticket from the machines!  You can just use a credit card to tap pay at the turnstiles on the way in, and then tap again on the way out.  This is by far the easiest way.  The ride will be around $4.  You will need to pay this yourself to take part in the full walk, please be ready for it!  Our tour guides will help assist all along the way.

Everyone will take the train just one stop, then exit near the Art Gallery downtown!

2:30 – meet up at the Art Gallery steps, Georgia Street side. Take photos on the steps with the iconic stone lions and hang out for about 15 minutes!

2:45 – leave for another short walk through the heart of the beautiful West End, through a secret green walkway, past the Rainbow crosswalk, towards the Junction Pub at 1138 Davie. There are plenty more photo opportunities on the way!

3-3:15 – arrive at Junction, where we have a big space reserved on their newly expanded outdoor patio. 50+ kinksters expected! Pub meetup host Mistress Mercedes and Junction manager Byron will be there to welcome you! There are big patio umbrellas to hide under if the sun is your enemy, and you can always pop inside to cool off!

Just drop by to say hi, or stay for as long as you like. Davie Street has a great daytime street vibe, right in the heart of the Gay Village, gearing up for Vancouver’s massive Pride celebrations next week.

NOTE – there are LOTS of place to grab food all around this pub, as well as at the pub itself, of course!
