Gastown, one of the most historic and happening parts of Vancouver, has so much to offer. The neighbourhood has found a way to constantly reinvent itself and remain relevant to Vancouverites without ever compromising its classic landscape. How? Through pop-ups and events that cycle through the seasons.
In this moment of transition from late summer to early fall, there are four different fashion pop-ups happening between now and September. They offer a slice of boho chic, contemporary minimalism, and fun flirtiness.
Check out what Gastown's serving up in style.
