Fair Fashion Festival York Region (Threading Change)

We’re back, GTA — transforming fashion, one thread at a time. The York Fair Fashion Festival is a BIPOC youth-led event rooted in community care, sustainability, and resistance to a system that exploits people and the planet. This all-ages gathering brings together youth, families, artists, organizers, and everyday people to imagine what a just, circular future can look like, starting with what we wear.

At FFF, we center the stories and leadership of Black, Indigenous, and racialized youth and women who are too often excluded from sustainability conversations, even though we’ve been doing the work all along. Through clothing swaps, mending zones, workshops, community quilting, and real talk with change-makers in the space, we’ll build skills, share stories, and take action together.
