The West Coast's biggest kink party returns to Vancouver this summer

The sexiest weekend of the year is just around the corner, and it’s definitely NSFW.

Vancouver Fetish Weekend (VFW) is taking place from July 27 to 31 with a scintillating lineup of parties, meet-and-greets, and more.

The long-running annual event draws fetish enthusiasts, artists, models, designers, and performers from around the globe. As VFW’s website explains, everyone is invited to meet, play and flirt and maybe more.

Newcomers are welcome, and if it’s your first time attending, you can expect a lot of latex, leather, theatrical makeup, and some of the most out-there erotic costumes you’ve ever seen.

However, don’t let the dominatrix gear and chains fool you; VFW states that it is one of the most accepting, consent-focused, and newcomer-friendly parties you’ll ever attend in Vancouver.
