About DVF

Design Vancouver Festival is a citywide community-driven festival featuring open studios, walking tours, exhibitions, lectures, social networking events, and more, all hosted by Vancouver's thriving design community. We bring together designers of all disciplines, design enthusiasts, and friends and patrons of the design community. Our goal is to cultivate the public's knowledge and appreciation of design and create a supportive community.

Events

Immerse yourself in the creativity of design thinkers. This festival hosts events across the city - including curated events, tours, talks and open studios. See sculptors at work; hear the highlights from the much-anticipated PechaKucha Night speaker; sip crafted cocktails; and marvel at the architectural spaces of our curated events.
