Reject fast fashion and swap clothes, shoes and accessories you no longer need or wear. Fill a bag of your previously loved clothes and exchange them for a wardrobe refresh! All ages and genders are welcome.
How It Works
- Purchase your tickets in advance. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door.
- Arrive and check in at 6:00 p.m.
- Help our volunteers weigh and hang your clothing, if you brought some. We weigh clothes to see how much is diverted from the landfill.
- While you wait, you can visit the lobby or Fairmont bar while you wait for the big reveal.
- Once the swap begins, you are free to take home anything you like—no extra charges!
Know Before You Go
- Wearable clothing only: Bring items in great condition—no rips, holes, or stains allowed.
- All types of clothing welcome: We accept adult, youth, and kids’ clothing, as well as shoes and jewelry.
- Arrive on time: We set up the swap as you arrive! The sooner we get the clothes in, the sooner we SWAP.
- Bring a reusable bag: Don’t forget a bag to carry home all your fabulous new-to-you finds.
- Have fun! This is all about community and creativity. Enjoy swapping stories as much as clothes.
- Be kind and respectful: Respect each other’s space while swapping. Let’s keep it friendly and welcoming.

The Clothing Swap, organized and hosted by AWARE, is made possible through the generous support of our sponsor, the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Their backing aligns with Whistler’s Climate Action BIG MOVES Strategy: “Big Move 6: Close the loop and shift toward lower carbon consumption.”
We also extend our gratitude to Fairmont Chateau Whistler for their continued donation of their ballroom for the Fall Clothing Swap, which makes this event possible.
