MORE MAKERS AND MERRIMENT AT THIS YEAR’S WEST COAST WINTER
The “Not Your Average Pop Up Shop” Is Back For It’s 2nd Year of Fun, Community, and Giving Back
Vancouver, BC (November 16, 2016) – West Coast Winter – Vancouver’s community-focused pop-up event organized by local makers and small businesses – is back for it’s 2nd year at the Made by Pacific workshop in East Vancouver. The event will provide guests with a one-of-a-kind community experience where they can meet and mingle with members of their community in a fun, festive environment.
The event is organized by the West Coast Winter vendors themselves, all who have come together in the local community as friends and partners, supporting each other and their craft. Makers this year cover categories such as home goods, holiday wreaths and potted plants, hand crafted pet supplies, leather goods for him and her, vintage inspired clothing, gemstone jewelry, hand-made healthy samosas, and hand-dipped beeswax candles. More than your “average pop-up shop”, the team wanted to create a truly unique community experience that fosters connections, supports small business, and gives back to nonprofits in the area.
The PACIFIC workshop transforms into a festive holiday market, and this year the community lounge is being hosted by The Consortium – an online platform for Canadian made furniture and home decor. With local food vendors and beverage partners such as Main Street Brewing and Cocos Pure Coconut Water on board, guests can shop, mingle, and experience with all of their senses as they move through the space. Entry is by donation with all proceeds going to support WISH Drop In Centre Society, supporting women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside community.
