Fashion lovers, mark your calendars: the Toronto Vintage Show is back this fall, taking over the Queen Elizabeth Building at Exhibition Place on September 20–21, 2025. Billed as Canada’s largest vintage fashion event, the show brings together 130 vendors from across North America and fills 50,000 square feet with curated clothing, accessories, and collectibles spanning nearly a century of style.
“The Toronto Vintage Show is a celebration of style, culture, and craftsmanship,” says show manager Catherine Knoll. “Whether you’re hunting for a 1920s gown, rare vintage Japanese sunglasses, a 1980s scarlet cashmere coat, or a pair of perfectly worn-in 1970s flare jeans, you’re sure to find your next one-of-a-kind fashion statement.”
The event has become a destination for anyone seeking standout pieces that carry history and personality. Beyond racks of clothing, visitors will discover jewelry, handbags, footwear, and eyewear, alongside curated vintage for kids, home décor, barware, and furnishings.

Among the most buzzworthy pieces hitting the floor this year are:
- A 1970s Hudson’s Bay Company coat, featuring the iconic stripes that remain a nostalgic symbol of Canadian style.
