What is Frocktails?

Frocktails is a party and social gathering for the sewing, textile, and maker community.

Itโ€™s a night to celebrate the people who sew, alter, mend, costume, quilt, UPcycle, style, document, collect, experiment, and create with fabric.

Frocktails is for sewists, makers, UPcyclers, costumers, cosplayers, drag artists, historic costumers, crafters, fiber artists, textile lovers, and anyone who loves making things with fabric.

You donโ€™t need to be a professional. You donโ€™t need the perfect outfit. You just need to come ready to celebrate creative community.

This yearโ€™s theme

Wear What You Love

Handmade, altered, UPcycled, costumed, mended, dramatic, practical, sentimental, experimental, over-the-top, or anything in between.

If you love it, wear it.

This is your excuse to pull out the piece youโ€™ve been waiting to wear, finish the project youโ€™ve been thinking about, style something in a new way, or simply come in something that feels like you.

This year

Frocktails Comes Home to FABCYCLE

This is our second time hosting Frocktails, and this year feels extra special.

Frocktails 2026 will take place at the Sun Wah Centre in Chinatown, inside FABCYCLEโ€™s own building. Weโ€™ll be taking over the LG level and transforming the space into a full Frocktails celebration for one night only.

The location is central, transit-friendly, and right in the heart of Vancouverโ€™s creative community.
