IDEOLOGY Toquefest Film & Music Festival 3rd Annual est 2002 TOQUEFEST, named after the Canadian national head garment, is dedicated to providing an open-source for the exhibition of independent entertainment. Combining all the attributes of Vancouver at one centralized hub, this outdoor film and music festival aims to grow into an annual celebration that this great city can embrace. In its modest debut, the event featured 2 films (projected onto a white tarp), and a local jazz trio, who's acoustic set opened the foggy fall evening. The microfest was housed by the Kitsilano Showboat, an outdoor amphitheater located along Kits Beach. Despite the cold, the 75 people in attendance put on their wool caps and braved the elements, and born was the name and spirit of Toquefest.
