The seven days until KITSCHMAS!


KITSCHMAS!
It's our favourite time of the year!


This weekend we started off our 7 day count down with this retro Advent calendar.

Each day we will reveal another part of the event you can look forward to!  Follow along every day on Facebook...otherwise stay tuned for Saturday when we reveal them all here!

In case you are not aware, the Toronto Vintage Society throws THE BEST vintage events!  We do everything we can to insure there is a 360 degree vintage experience where there is something for everyone!



This year's Kitschmas event theme is WHITE KITSCHMAS!  You can only imagine the amazing ways we will utilize this awesome theme!  

We are excited to have amazing bands, acts, appearances, photo booth. vintage karaoke, carolling and more!

We want to take a minute to thank our top line sponsor Mill St Brewery without whom none of this would be possible...and our patrons would be thirsty!



Join us here, on Facebook...or just show up at the Cadillac Lounge on Saturday December 5th. Doors open at 7pm. $10 advance tickets available online.  $15 at the door .

We hope to see you there!
