The feathers will be flying on Saturday, April 7 when a big pillow fight breaks out (as planned) outside the Vancouver Art Gallery.
It's International Pillow Fight Day, and a coordinated effort to have seemingly spontaneous pillow fights in public spaces is going down in all its messy glory.

Pillow Fight Day has been happening in Vancouver and around the world for several years now. Locally it's organized by Vancouver's outpost of Improv Everywhere and Flash Mob Vancouver--both skilled at pulling off stunts like this.
If you want to participate, this PJs-optional (as in you CAN wear them instead of street clothes, don't show up naked!) kid-friendly event has some strict parameters, which you can find outlined on the Facebook event page. Spectators are welcome, though as always the element of surprise for unknowing passers-by is pretty priceless.
Pillow Fight will take place rain or shine, and sadly, it looks like this one is going to be rainy.
