The Pink Room: A Feminist Rave & Dark Carnival Night Market

Presented by Riot Grrrl Productions × Scranton Punk Collective
The Pink Room is where underground art, live music, and DIY culture collide.

 

For one night only, Saint Mary's Center transforms into an immersive feminist rave and alternative night market celebrating independent femme, queer, trans, non-binary, and LGBTQIA+ artists, creators, musicians, and small businesses.

Browse 55+ curated vendors while the space comes alive with two live bands, a live DJ, a costume contest, and the Dark Carnival Night Market. Whether you're discovering your next favorite artist, dancing between vendor booths, or connecting with your local creative community, The Pink Room is designed to be an experience—not just a marketplace.

 

Part rave. Part punk show. Part underground art market. Entirely DIY.

Inspired by the Riot Grrrl movement's values of empowerment, inclusivity, artistic expression, and mutual aid, this event exists to amplify underrepresented voices while creating an accessible, welcoming space for everyone who believes in community over competition.

Whether you create handmade art, publish zines, restore vintage clothing, design jewelry, curate records, or make something completely your own, this is a place to share your work with people who genuinely appreciate independent creativity.

More than a dance party—and more than a flea market—The Pink Room is a celebration of art, music, activism, and community.

The Pink Room is built on the belief that art can create community. We strive to cultivate an environment that is welcoming, respectful, accessible, and affirming of people of all identities, backgrounds, body types, sexual orientations, and gender expressions. Harassment, discrimination, hateful merchandise, or exclusionary behavior will not be tolerated. We're interested in building a space where people can discover new artists, make connections, and leave feeling inspired.

 

If those values resonate with you, we'd love to have you apply.
