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!

NO BEACH DAY TODAY! HERE IS THE BACKUP PLAN …

NO GROUP BEACH TRIP TO WRECK BEACH TODAY

NEW HANGOUT SPOT – THE BAYSIDE LOUNGE

1755 DAVIE STREET / 2 PM TO 9 PM

SHUTTLE PICKUPS AT THE HOST HOTEL AT 2 PM, 5 PM, 8PM

Good morning kinksters!  As is obvious by the weather outside, for the first time in 10 years, our Monday Beach Day group trip to Wreck Beach is unfortunately rained out and not happening.  However we of course know that there are many of our fetish friends from all over the world and Vancouver all with the day off today and our number one priority is to make sure we all have the space and time today to meet up in person, have some downtime together to relax, unwind, and strengthen the connections between us all.

Our back plan today is to assemble at the BAYSIDE LOUNGE! Here is the link if you wish to check it out in advance :
https://www.baysidelounge.ca/

The Bayside Lounge is a second floor lounge overlooking the beach at beautiful English Bay, straight down Davie Street, downtown and relatively close to the host hotel.  It has a capacity of 60 so it will be very busy all day, and while they know we are coming and are ready for us, it is still open to the public and first come first serve for entry.  It is entirely possible we will fill the lounge up just with our crowd of kinksters!

There are many food and drink options for having a meal and refreshments, and there are also many other food and drink options dotted all around the area in general , which is a great hang out spot and one of our top tourist destinations in Vancouver.  You can step outside the lounge for photos or time on the beach, during breaks in the weather.  This is also one of the best spots to watch the sun set in Vancouver, and we highly encourage everyone to be together here from 8:30 to 9 PM for the sunset moment.

We will still have shuttles running from the host hotel, but if anyone wants to walk or Uber, it is only a 6 minute drive or 25 minute walk.

Shuttles will be picking up at the host hotel at the Holiday Inn at 1110 Howe Street and taking people to the Bayside Lounge at 1755 Davie St at 2 PM, 5 PM, and 8 PM.  Shuttles are one way and no return trip to the hotel will be provided, you will have to make your way back on your own!

Everyone and anyone is welcome to join us at the get together!

Thank you for visiting us at Vancouver Fetish Weekend and we hope to see you later today and on into the evening for one last get together!

xoxoxo

Isaac & Evilyn, and the entire Restricted Entertainment and VFW Team

Board the board at 1601 Bayshore Drive, by the Westin Bayshore

Don’t miss the VIP Fetish Cruise aboard our privately chartered pervy pleasure yacht!

This private cruise for serious pervs only, and is ONLY available to full weekend pass holders.

The cruise runs from 6-9 PM along the coastline of Vancouver, and your ticket includes a complimentary shuttle to the official closing party afterwards, which runs right until 3 AM.

· DJs Davide & Evilyn13
· Rope suspension play frame

PLEASE NOTE – CRUISE LEAVES AT 6 PM SHARP!

If you are not on the boat by 6 PM, it will leave without you! Cruise begins boarding at 5 PM.

MAXIMUM KINK LEVELS

This is a private chartered cruise and not a public club type event. There is a heightened level of ‘anything goes’ which applies to both kink play and the fetish dress code, so long as everything is safe, sane and consensual, of course! What insanely naughty outfit are you willing to wear (or not wear) aboard the cruise?  Note – a g-string minimum must be worn, and lower naughty bits must be covered.  What dirty things are you willing to do? The fetish cruise is for serious perverts and is NOT for the easily offended!  Also note – the cruise is not an SOP event, and though everything up to it is permitted, no actual sex on premises is permitted.

DUNGEON GEAR & KINK PLAY

The entire cruise is considered a play area, with high quality dungeon furniture scattered throughout on every level. Floorwalkers and Dungeon Monitors will be on hand to guide anyone who may have questions about play, and who will intervene if any play anywhere is considered unsafe for anyone involved.

FETISH DRESS CODE IN EFFECT AT ALL TIMES

All outfit styles are welcome so long as they meet our kinky / sexy / fetish / pervy dress code! Read more about our fetish dress code here.

ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONES PERMITTED! PRO FETISH PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE ON SITE

There is a 100% no cameras and no cell phones rule aboard. Please leave your phones with the rest of your belongings in the complimentary coat check. No taking of photos anywhere of any type, no using cell phones to call anyone, and no texting – no exceptions!

A very select handful of our most professional, high end and discreet fetish photographers will be on hand to service all the exhibitionists who will be on board and want photos taken! Photo shoots will happen with willing participants ONLY, with all photos carefully screened before release.

HOSTED BY : Isaac T (VFW Producer)


3 Levels of Fetish Partying

Level One
Board the boat, be greeted in style, change if needed, check everything you don’t want to carry in our secure, complimentary coat check, and head up to explore!

Level Two
The entire second floor is set up for kink play!  A wide array of sturdy, padded BDSM play furniture will be available for pervy play, including benches, mats for floor play, padded tables etc!

Level Three
The outdoor rooftop party space is always the most popular area of the cruise! The stunning views of Vancouver are an unforgettable backdrop for kinky fun.  DJs, dancing, rope play suspension frame, stripper dance poles and more!  Chill, talk, flirt (and maybe more) with friends old and new!

July 27 – Fetish Walk, Group Photo & Pub Meetup Today!

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 2024! 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 VFW2024!

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!

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 – IMPORTANT!!!

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!

The 10th annual Vancouver Fetish Weekend kicks into high gear with the opening night FETISH BALL!

A gorgeous, renovated theatre venue with a totally unique atmosphere. The first night of Vancouver Fetish Weekend features…

· DJs, dancing, socializing & play
· Dungeon & play gear throughout
· Sexy fetish stage performers & go-go’s
· Lots of plush theatre seating
· Festival laser installation

Every year at Vancouver Fetish Weekend, we feature a bonus theme for the Friday Grand Opening Party!

This year’s theme is : HARNESS YOUR SEXUAL ENERGY!

This can be quite literal – wear a harness! It is a fetish outfit staple, can be worn on its own, layered with other elements such as latex, and there is an endless amount of different types and styles ranging from complex to super simple.

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 and character. 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!

For the Friday event, we encourage people to also go beyond the literal meaning of the word harness as an outfit, and also wear any kind of outfit which allows you to HARNESS YOUR SEXUAL ENERGY and take charge of your identity and self-expression! This can be a super simple outfit or bare as you dare (g-string minimum in public events of course), right through to exxxtra extravagant ensembles! Anything that makes you feel sexy and strong!


FETISH DRESS CODE IN EFFECT AT ALL TIMES

Themes are NOT compulsory. All outfit styles are welcome so long as they meet our kinky / sexy / fetish / pervy dress code! Read more about our fetish dress code here.

PLEASE READ CODE OF CONDUCT AND NO PHOTO POLICY BEFORE ATTENDING

Before attending events at Vancouver Fetish Weekend, please take a look at our code of conduct, established to make sure all attendees have a fun, sexy, and safe time. We also have a no photo policy to ensure everyone’s privacy, although our official event photographers will be on hand if you want to capture the moment.
