Swap high-quality fashion, connect with others, and support a great cause!

✨ How It Works ✨

🌿 Clean out your closet. Choose your best pieces that you no longer wear but are still in great condition — the kind of items you’d happily gift to a friend.

👜 Check in at the Reception. When you arrive, hand over your items at the reception table. Each piece will be inspected, and you’ll receive a ticket for every item that meets our quality standard. We’ll then hang or display the clothing by category for others to “shop.”

👗 Fresh finds all day. New pieces will continue to arrive throughout the event, so the selection keeps changing. Stay as long as you like!

☕ Enjoy the community vibe. Sip some refreshments, browse the racks, and connect with like-minded people who love fashion and sustainability.

✅ Do Bring

1 to 10 items of men’s or women’s clothing in good, clean condition.

Any season, any brand, all sizes shoes, accessories, hats, bags, jewelry.

School uniforms are welcome

❌ Don’t Bring

More than 10 items

Clothing that is damaged, ripped, stained, or excessively worn/peeling

Undergarments, swimsuits, bathing suits, nightwear/pajamas

Kid’s clothing (except school uniforms)

✨ Anything left at the end of the event will be donated to local thrift stores.We’ll be accepting clothing for all seasons, making this a safe, fun, and inclusive swap for everyone.

Please share this event with your friends and family to help promote sustainable fashion. We can’t wait to see you there!

Class information:

From our Roots – November 28 – 3:30pm

Free! November 28 at 3:30, for you and your child (age 7-11) to attend together. 

From our Roots, We Rise: An invitation to connect to your emotions and with each other through movement. 

When I was young, my emotions felt too big. I didn't know what to do with them so I pushed everything down, or released them in big explosions of energy. Perhaps you've also noticed that for yourself or for your child? During my time as an educator, I've learned healthy and relational ways that have helped me. I'd like to share these with you and your child in a free class. We will practice feeling, expressing and regulating emotions together through movement, breath, and play, and we will use music, games, and reflection to integrate these strategies. Led by Amanda, BEd, educator and learner. 

 Yin to Gentle Flow Yoga – November 7 – 1:30pm

The class will begin with some yin style longer held poses to awaken the body and invite flexibility.  We will slowly build into a gentle flow (Hatha) style class to invigorate you for the day.  To close the practice, we will rest in savasana allowing this new place of ease & balance to integrate into the body and mind.  This class is suitable for all levels.

Jumping Jellies - Mommy & Me Creative Movement - November 14 – 10:00am

 Ages 0-4 years

This is a fun and interactive class to get the little ones moving and grooving! Taking the littles on a fun adventure, exploring a variety of different props, up-beat music, yoga, storytelling, obstacle courses and more! Jumping Jellies classes always focus on the fundamental gross motor movements in early childhood. A wonderful bonding experience for both child and parent! There’s no participant restrictions. Jumping Jellies is an inclusive program that recognizes all abilities!

SitFit + Yoga – November 14 – 3:30pm

A seated class that combines gentle Pilates, Yoga, weight and resistance training for a full body workout. Ideal for anyone who needs the comfort and/or safety of seated exercise (standing is optional). All equipment is provided in this free class. Please let the instructor know of any restrictions or joint sensitivities. Modifications will be provided.

Doors open at 6:30

Join us for Moonlight Serenade seniors' dance featuring the smooth, nostalgic sounds of Calgary’s own Silence In B’tween. Their repertoire is impressively diverse: expect everything from Swing, Foxtrots, Rumbas, Tango, Polkas, Waltzes, Cha‑Chas, Two‑Step, and contemporary dance styles, all crafted to get the crowd involved and moving.

Light snacks (pretzels, chips), coffee and cash bar available through the evening.

Whether you're dancing, chatting, or just soaking in the music, it's a relaxed, memorable night focused on connection and the moments in between.
