Forego the usual festive fare this holiday season. Instead, surprise that special someone in your life with some truly unique items found at Vancouver’s strangest holiday market.
The sixth Weirdos Holiday Market takes place at the Russian Hall from December 9 to 11 and again from December 16 to 18.
For the first time in its history, the market has expanded to include two Friday evenings for shoppers aged 19 and up to discover “decidedly ‘R’-rated curios suited only to (slightly more) mature eyes,” according to organizers.

Nothing says "Christmas Holiday" quite like shopping for pornographic merchandise at the Vancouver "Christmas Market". It makes Baby Jesus cry.

I lived and worked in Vancouver 1982-85. It was THE prefect city. Gorgeous setting and people with a great vibe. And very mannerly (the old British influence I suspect).
We used to go back every couple years. In the last 8 or so, things started to dramatically change. As I said to the spousal unit (who is a Canadian by the way) “This is not our Vancouver any more”. We have not been back since

Lived in Vancouver area for 25 years and never heard of this, or the Russian Hall for that matter. Thought it might be Vancouver, WA but no the map shows it to be Vancouver BC.
So it’s not exactly a high profile event.

Did the Washington and Portland weirdos move up there during the Bush years?

And I’ll add, Vancouver is where Justine Castreau and his mum came from (he taught school there and has a degree from UBC).
