Tips & Advice

  • Avoid the permit-only zones around the centre and look for metered parking on Haro or Barclay Streets, or free off-peak spots on Denman Street.
  • Use the EasyPark lot right below the West End Community Centre if you'd rather not hunt for a street spot near Denman.
  • Vendors should line up early on table sale day, since tables are sold in person only and the fair sells out every year.
  • Come ready to shop handmade, because only original handcrafted work by artisans can be sold at the fair's tables.
