July 25 – Fetish Walk, Group Photo & Pub Patio Meetup
RAIN OR SHINE, the Fetish Walk & Group Photos start at 2 PM today at the host hotel Holiday Inn at 1110 Howe, and the Pub Meetup starts at 3 PM at The Junction at 1138 Davie! Another email today will be coming, regarding details for the main event later tonight, and weather coverage plans for Sunday and Monday! Read on for more details about today!
DAYTIME KINK PHOTO & PUB PATIO MEETUP!
Join us at a FREE daytime activity for added fun and social connection during Vancouver Fetish Weekend 2026! Get together with fetish friends for a daytime group walk through the city for photos at public landmarks close to the host hotel, then meet up for cold drinks, brunch and good times at the Junction on Davie St! We usually have a big group and it’s always a fun time! All are welcome!
The weather today is not as hot as it has been in previous years, so make sure to dress accordingly! At the pub part of the meetup, there is both the large outdoor patio, but also lots of space indoors, with big glass windows overlooking the street, where we can gather in comfort!
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 VFW2026!
Join us at the host hotel for the Walk starting at 2 PM, 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!
PLEASE NOTE! There are some sloped sidewalks and stairs along the way – footwear that is easy to walk in is highly recommended! If you wish to bring some crazy fetish footwear for photos, we would recommend you bring them in a bag, and change into them at photo spots, rather than wearing them the whole way!
ITINERARY
1:45-2 PM – Meet at host hotel lobby at Holiday Inn, 1110 Howe St.
Our tour guides BITCH SASSIDY and MARC will meet you and take everyone on the short fetish walk through downtown Vancouver past local landmarks and photo-worthy spots. Please take lots of photos! The Walk is approximately 1.25 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 towards downtown. Most of the walk is on quieter streets, but our route will take us through a very busy one block stretch of Granville Street, to take advantage of all the recently installed photo and selfie areas set up for FIFA, which was recently in Vancouver!
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 up Burrard Street, and 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 there is plenty of space on their street side outdoor patio, as well as plenty of space inside. Pub meetup host MISTRESS MERCEDES and Junction manager BYRON will be there to welcome you! There are big patio umbrellas to hide under on the patio, and you move to the inside and outdoor areas of the pub to wherever is most comfortable for you based on your temperature level!
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 the weekend following VFW!
NOTE – there are LOTS of place to grab food all around this pub, as well as at the pub itself, of course!
Our VFW photographers and videographers will be accompanying the group and we encourage everyone to take lots of photos!
And did we mention this party is FREE, for everyone from the kink community and all their friends? Come one, come all!

read moreOPENING NIGHT BONUS THEME = BLACK & WHITE
LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO! Every year at Vancouver Fetish Weekend, we feature a bonus theme for the Friday Grand Opening Party! This year’s theme is…
THE BLACK & WHITE BALL!
Even if you don’t have white options, every kinkster in the world has at least one basic black outfit!
All black and shades of grey is the default colour of fetish. Whether it’s latex, leather, fishnets, harnesses, PVC, lingerie, plastic or cloth – all black is quite possibly the easiest theme of all!
If you can manage it, an all white outfit will literally make you stand out from the crowd!
Or, wear one colour with a bit of the other. All black with white accents or accessories such as ruffs, harnesses, straps, wigs, ribbons, gloves or suspenders is a HOT look!
There’s also many classic themes which easily fall into the black and white category :
– nuns
– priests
– butlers
– sailors
– French maids
– Marie Antoinette
– fetish formal wear
– fetish-goth
– fetish-military
– classic Dominatrix / Gimp
– use your imagination & surprise us!
Kinksters are keenly aware that attire can mean so much more than just the clothes you wear. Just like music, your attire can instill entirely different levels and changes to your confidence, character and demeanour.
Many people regard getting into their fetish attire as a chance to take off the mask they are forced to wear in “normal” society, and a chance to unleash their inner creativity and character. At fetish events this is both welcomed and celebrated!
All outfits can be super simple, or go bare as you dare (g-string minimum in public events of course), or dial it up with more complicated and extra extravagant ensembles!
THE FRIDAY THEME IS ALWAYS OPTIONAL!
For people who enjoy taking part in a group costume, the theme always presents lots of connection opportunities with other people in attendance, from just sparking up conversation about outfits, to getting group photos together, and continuing that connection further afterwards! However ….
ALL OUTFITS AND ALL STYLES AND TYPES ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED!
If you want to go with a different look entirely that has nothing to do with the BLACK & WHITE theme, that is absolutely OK and you will not feel out of place!
read moreMAIN EVENT VENUE CHANGE!
MAJOR NEWS!
Due to ongoing FIFA road closures affecting access for both production vehicles and attendees to our original venue, we are making a last minute venue change for the main event of Vancouver Fetish Weekend, coming up QUICK, starting in just one week’s time!
Read on for more details!
The main event of VFW is moving to a large multi-level, multi-room private warehouse venue! This venue has never been used for a kink event in Vancouver before, and is being custom built by our ace team of production techs specifically for our needs!
This is actually the venue where we will also be doing our big FUNHOUSE Kinky Circus event for VANCOUVER PRIDE the following week. We are now opening the venue one week earlier in order to have it ready for VFW!
While the new venue is more limited in some ways – there is no bottle service, 3rd party vendors or VIP booths available – moving the venue from a public to a private space allows us much more direct control over curating the vibe, adds some new features all our attendees will LOVE, and allows us to present the main event of VFW with a much more European-inspired fetish party flavour.
There will still be a huge stage, all our world-class local and international performers, photo booths, red carpet interviews, play areas, huge coat check, full bar service, and all the things you would expect from VFW, except now attendees will also enjoy :
– huge private outdoor gated area
– SOP & couples room on site
– second room of DJs & dancing
– later closing time & many more surprises!
STAY TUNED FOR MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS!
If there are any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us, either through the contact page here on the VFW website, or by emailing VFW organizer ISAAC T directly at :
