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!
