11th annual

Sunday, April 15, 2018 · 11am–7pm · one day only

Vancouver

Boxing Day in April.

30 local designers and artists gather under one roof for the 11th annual Nifty for Fifty shopping sale at Heritage Hall, 3102 Main Street.

Find everything from accessories to clothing and trinkets, all for $50 or less — just in time to revamp a spring wardrobe.

“Nifty for Fifty started out as a glorified fashion garage sale,” says event producer and Adhesif Clothing designer Melissa Ferreira. “It started with only a few designers and now it’s like Boxing Day in April.”
