Welcome to Pink Weekend

Pink Weekend was created by SoAsh Haberdash and Local Mercantile to inspire the community to shop small before the big box stores on Black Friday.

Now in its third year, this weekend-long event has become a beloved tradition celebrating community over competition, supporting our local neighbors, and keeping holiday spending local.

Pink Weekend brings together boutiques, restaurants, salons, and other small businesses for a weekend full of shopping, giveaways, and fun, all while reminding shoppers that when you shop small, you make a big impact.

How it Works for Shoppers

Each participating location has a limited number of official pink weekend passports. This is how you participate and win prizes:
