Get ready for a day of playful celebration, community spirit, and meaningful fundraising in Abbotsford. This one-day event brings together curious newcomers and seasoned regulars for an afternoon full of good vibes, shared moments, and creative expression — all in support of vital community services.

Expect a lively lineup of activities designed to welcome everyone with open arms:

  • VicBears BearBQ — where sizzling sausages meet warm, fuzzy company
  • Masterbaker — Australia’s cheekily fun bake-off (no oven required)
  • Dykes on Bikes — bringing their trademark energy to the door, with extra flair
  • Rubber pups, live auctions, demos, and performances — plenty to watch, join, and enjoy

Whether you’re stepping into this world for the first time or returning to an annual favorite, it’s a safe, joyful space to connect and contribute. The event raises crucial funds for Thorne Harbour Health’s services, including the David Williams Fund for people living with HIV — supporting care, connection, and dignity.

“It’s a fundraiser, first and foremost — but also a day that brings so many of our tribes together. There’s simply nothing else like it.” — Cal Hawk, Thorne Harbour Health

Generous donors make this day possible, allowing the community to thrive year after year. Thank you for helping make Northside Bizarre both memorable and meaningful.
