Circular Fashion Festivals
The ReMode 2026 Festival Features Upcycled Apparel
Debra John — March 3, 2026
ReMode 2026 is a one-day circular fashion festival dedicated to promoting sustainable apparel practices and responsible consumption. Taking place on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, the event is produced by the Canadian non-profit Fashion Takes Action (FTA) and presented by Value Village in partnership with Evergreen Brick Works.
The festival is "organized around the 7Rs of Fashion—Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Repurpose, Resale, Rent, and Recycle—providing a framework that encourages attendees to reconsider how clothing is acquired, maintained, and extended in use." Additionally, unlike standard fashion festivals, ReMode 2026 does not feature newly manufactured garments. Instead, more than 40 vendors will showcase preloved, upcycled, repurposed, and repaired apparel.
In addition to the marketplace, the event includes a clothing swap, minor repair services, and a series of talks and workshops focused on garment care and circular design strategies. The festival is expected to engage consumers, students, designers, and sustainability advocates interested in advancing circular fashion systems.
