Rainbow Exchange Vendor Market Ft. GRRRLBANDS!

Get ready for another vibrant day of community, creativity, and queer joy! The Rainbow Exchange Vendor Market is back, and we’re filling the space with local makers, incredible music, and ways to refresh both your wardrobe and your spirit.

Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind handmade treasure or just want to bask in the good vibes, this is the place to be.

🗓️ The Details
When: Saturday, April 11
Market Hours: 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Where: Speakeasy – Carrboro

🎸 All-Day Live Music
We are thrilled to feature non-stop performances from GRRRLBANDS! all day long. They’ll be providing the perfect high-energy soundtrack while you shop, swap, and create.

✂️ Open Table Collage Workshop (1:00 PM – 6:30 PM)
Flex your creative muscles at our community collage station! We’ll have supplies on hand, but we highly encourage you to bring your own stash if you have one—especially old magazines, cool paper scraps, or stickers. No supplies? No problem! Just bring your imagination and join the table.

👗 Queer Clothing Exchange (1:00 PM – 6:30 PM)
It’s time for a spring refresh! Our clothing swap is the perfect way to let go of items that no longer “spark joy” and find some new-to-you favorites.
👔To Donate: Please bring gently used and cleaned items (shirts, jackets, sweaters, pants, dresses, etc.).
🥻To Take: Find something you love! No clothes to swap? No worries. We want everyone to feel confident and affirmed, so please show up and take what you need.
💜Giving Back: All leftover clothing will be donated to a local trans/queer non-profit (TBD) to support our wider community.

🌙 After Hours: Mutual Aid & The Queer Cabaret
As the market winds down, the night is just heating up! Stick around for an evening dedicated to our community family.
📝7:00 PM – Cameron Price is Right Trivia: Kick off the night by testing your knowledge (and your luck!) with some high-stakes, hilarious trivia.
👠9:00 PM – The Queer Cabaret: Hosted by the legendary AmanDuh Barron, this showcase is a fundraiser for Alex Thee Rabbit! Alex lit up our stage for years and we want to give back by raising funds for her upcoming “Boob Install” scheduled for 5/6/26. We are aiming to help her raise the $500 needed to secure her date so she can heal in time to take the stage again for Pride Month!
🪩Late Night – DJ NIHL: We’re closing out the night on the dance floor with DJ NIHL spinning tracks until the very end.
