Western Front, "Toque Craft Fair," 2019

TOQUE, a craft fair with a twist!

Held annually, TOQUE showcases the wares of 27 Vancouver-based artists and designers while raising much needed funds to support Western Front’s ongoing program of contemporary art and new music.

For three days, textiles, ceramics, jewelry, books, bags, home and body products take centre stage in the historic charm of Western Front’s Grand Luxe Hall. Join us for a party on Friday night, when you can enjoy a drink and a bratwurst while you shop, or on Saturday and Sunday when the fair continues with baked treats and activities for kids.

Western Front’s unique ambiance, coupled with TOQUE’s well-curated list of vendors, has made it one of Vancouver’s best and most anticipated annual craft fairs. It’s been cited as “the most artful of all the artisan fairs” by Georgia Straight, “a true artists’ fair with a solidly local feel” by Scout Magazine, and has been featured on BT Vancouver with Susie Wall, BC Living, Montecristo Magazine, and more.
