What makes Toque Craft Fair special?

Since the 1970s Western Front has held a winter fair celebrating local artists, and since 2002 Toque has carried on this tradition.

Explore Western Front’s heritage building, while you shop local from over fifty vendors representing the very best in BC-based art, craft and design. It’s all about coming together, meeting artists, and connecting with what’s made in our community.

What is Western Front?

As one of Canada’s leading multidisciplinary non-profit art centres, Western Front is where artists develop, create, and present impactful multidisciplinary work at pivotal moments in their practice, and where publics gather to deepen their engagement with contemporary art.

How does Toque support Western Front?

Our participating vendors generously donate 30% of all sales to provide vital funding for Western Front’s artistic program and heritage building conservation.

Every donation supports contemporary artists across art forms by funding new work commissions, exhibitions, performances, residencies, and workshops. By shopping at Toque Craft Fair, you are directly supporting BC-based artists and artist-run culture in Vancouver.

What are the 2025 opening times?

Toque Craft Fair is open Friday, December 5, 2025 from 5 – 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, December 6 & 7, 2025, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

How do I get tickets?

Admission is by donation, either in advance or on the day at the door. We accept both cash and card. Advance tickets will be released in October 2025.

Is Toque an accessible event?

Toque Craft Fair takes place across the ground and second floor of Western Front’s heritage building. The ground floor is accessible showcasing 30% of our vendors, while the remaining vendors are located on the second floor which is only accessible by a flight of twenty-six stairs.

Can I bring my pet?

As Toque can be a crowded and noisy environment, we ask that you leave your pets at home for the safety and comfort of all. Service animals are always welcome.
