Heatley Block Party vendor call-out!

Are you a maker or small business that operates out of the DTES / Strathcona?

We're looking for vendors for the market component of our next Heatley Block Party, feel free to complete our Heatley Block Party vendor application if you'd like to be involved! 

Strathcona’s one stop shop

Located in Strathcona, Forastera aims to provide vintage clothing, accessories and home decor for most tastes, sizes and price points. The shop also boasts a selection of visual art from local artists.

The shop provides a space for pals to sell their art and vintage curations as well as resell their pre-loved garments. ​Not only do we value keeping textile waste out of our landfills, we're also keen on keeping rad clothing items in rotation.

From moto-wears to western attire, upcycled and Y2K pieces, the shop is jam-packed with variety. Not only do we offer variety in styles and sizes, but also in price.

On a budget? Great, many of our wears are tagged with store-grade pricing. In the market to spend? Great, we also have an assortment of top-shelf pieces.

And don't forget: size inclusive pieces (sized XL + above), are peppered throughout the shop! Keep y'all's eye out for the orange hanger markers to indicate these sizes.

Find us on the Heatley Block!
