About

The Vancouver & Fraser Valley Tattoo and Culture Show is British Columbia's established tattoo convention, run twice a year by the organisation of the same name: a spring edition in Vancouver at the PNE Forum and a fall edition in the Fraser Valley at the Cloverdale Agriplex in Surrey. Third-party listings put it at 200 to 350 or more artists and vendors, with live tattooing, daily style competitions and seminars.

For a working artist the two-edition structure is the appeal: one show reaches downtown Vancouver, the other the suburban Fraser Valley client base, and they are far enough apart in the year to work both. Check dates before committing, though. Only the fall Fraser Valley date is confirmed, no Vancouver date has been set, and the most recent published pricing is from the 2025 Vancouver edition at $25 cash or $26.50 by card per day, $55 cash or $60 by card for the weekend, sold at the door only.

What to expect

• Two editions a year: spring in Vancouver at the PNE Forum, fall in the Fraser Valley at the Cloverdale Agriplex, Surrey
• 200 to 350+ artists and vendors per third-party listings
• Live tattooing, daily style competitions and seminars
• Reaches two distinct BC client bases from one organizer
• Only the fall Fraser Valley date is currently confirmed; no Vancouver date set
• 2025 Vancouver pricing: $25 cash or $26.50 card per day, $55 cash or $60 card weekend, door only
