Description:
Toque Craft Fair is an annual community event and fundraiser hosted by Western Front.

Shoppers were invited to browse the fair while enjoying drinks and bratwursts.
Toque is all about goodwill, community, and fostering sustainability for artists and artist-run culture in Vancouver. The participating vendors generously donated 30% of all sales to support Western Front’s artistic program.
