Let’s Get Ready for the Riverside Vintage Crawl – Holiday Edition!

We’re the gift that keeps on giving. We’ve got one more vintage crawl before we wrap it up for 2024. Who’s excited for the holiday edition of the Riverside Vintage Crawl?

Join us on December 12, 2024 (6pm-9pm) for a fun night of vintage shopping and cheery, holiday fun featuring your favourite vintage stores in Toronto’s Riverside neighbourhood.

If you’re new to the Riverside Vintage Crawl or just need a refresher, here’s a few reminders before the event:

Plan your time well.

You’ve got six locations to check out within three hours. Make sure to come early so you have ample time at every stop. If you need a break, you can head to Queen Garden Centre, get toasty in front of a fire pit and treat yourself to a warm beverage and s’mores from the cafe.

Prepare a list.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or your loved ones, it’s always helpful to have ideas on what you’re looking for beforehand. In case you didn’t know, HST on all purchases made during the event will be shouldered by the stores, so take advantage of this deal.

Dress strategically.

By this, we mean plan an outfit that you can easily try clothes in. Wear a fitted top as a base layer under your coat so it’s not a cumbersome process when you’re in the fitting room. Another tip: use a crossbody bag so you can browse and shop hands-free.
