Holiday Social for Creatives In Vancouver 2026

A casual get-together for local creatives, strategists, marketers, and industry friends.

Join us for our annual holiday meetup.

No talks.

No workshops.

Just good company, gingerbread making, and a chance to catch up with like-minded people over drinks and a bite to eat.

Join us at The Portside on December 17, 6:00 pm onwards.

Gingerbread Making

One of the highlights of our holiday social! Get creative, decorate some gingerbread, and enjoy a little friendly competition with your industry friends.

Donate Warm Clothing To The Homeless

This year we are collecting gently used warm clothing and (new) socks. After the event, our team will donate these items to the homeless on your behalf. Attendees are not obligated to donate clothing (although we hope you will)!

Doors open 6:00 pm

Space is limited; register now.


Note:
Attendees must be 19+ and present a valid government-issued ID at the event.

With support from The Portside Pub

Located in the heart of Historic Gastown, The Portside Pub captures the essence of the East Coast.
