Know Before You Go
- Tickets: Admission to the Fair is FREE.

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.
