Support Breast Cancer - Shop in Yaletown

Friday July 10, 2009

On Friday, July 17th, 2009 from 3pm to 9pm a normal shopping day will become a real event.

The Yaletown Summer Shopathon offers six hours of hot summer fashions, wicked discounts & specials from over 40 stores with awesome prizes, cool cocktails and drinks.

As Vancouver’s trendy and swank warehouse district, Yaletown is the destination for getting the vibe on what is happening in fashion, furnishings, home essentials and design. And what goes great with shopping, why food and wine of course! And what goes great with a little indulgence, why supporting a worthy cause of course!

At anytime during your Yaletown shopping marathon, stop a moment, take a seat on the patio and indulge in a special pairing, designed by Neil Wyles of Hamilton Street Grill just for this event.

A chilled glass of Township 7 Rosé paired with an appetizer of seared sea scallops over a bed of celeriac puree and doing something good at the same time? Wonderful idea! Hamilton Street Grill offers this combination of great wine and food for just $10 and donates $5 to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

The Township 7 Rosé is a perfect summer wine with tasty raspberry, rhubarb and strawberry aromas and is the perfect pairing for BC fresh seafood.

Not only home to some of the city’s hip fashion and design shops, Yaletown’s old loading docks create a unique setting for many outdoor patios and excellent restaurants and bars. This perfect symbiosis makes Yaletown Vancouver’s style destination and every shopping trip a great experience. To round out the event world famous DJ Marques Wyatt will be playing at 1000 block of Mainland. That’s a real Hot Friday!

Shopping at the Yaletown Summer Shopathon, drinking, eating and relaxing at the Hamilton Street Grill and listening to the sound of DJ Marques Wyatt – that means a perfect summer day in Yaletown.

Stores include Fine Finds, EQ3, Marimekko, Mavi Jeans, is.Salon, Blo, The Cross Decor & Design, Global Atomic, Boudoir, Skoah, SKU Clothing, Gateau Lingerie and Lola Home & Apparel. Check out these links:
