Rainbow Exchange Vendor's Market @ Speakeasy

🌈 The Rainbow Exchange: New Year, Same Fabulous Vibes! 🌈

Did the holidays leave your wallet crying and your soul craving something actually original? Same.

Shake off the "January Blues" and kick off 2026 with a burst of color! The Lavender Social is back at Speakeasy in Carrboro for the first Rainbow Exchange Vendor Market of the year. Forget the crowded malls and the boring big-box returns—come hang out where the cool kids are and SHOP LOCAL. LIVE COLORFULLY.

🗓️ When: Saturday, January 10th, 2026

⏰ Time: 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM 

📍 Where: Speakeasy – 100 East Main Street, Carrboro

Why should you show up? Because January is long, and local artists are awesome. We’ve rounded up the finest LGBTQIA+ makers to help you spend that holiday cash (or those gift cards) on things that actually have a soul.

Support your local creative community and keep our local economy as vibrant as a pride flag. Come grab a drink, meet the makers, and find that one thing you didn’t know you needed but now can’t live without.

⭐ But Wait, There's More! ⭐

Hang around once the market wraps up! Stick around Speakeasy after 7 PM for The Lavender Social's legendary QUEER CABARET & DANCE PARTY! The night kicks off with Cameron Price's Is Right Trivia (7-9 PM), followed by the show-stopping Queer Cabaret hosted by Amanduh Barron (9-11 PM), and then a Dance Party with NIHL until late! It's an all-day celebration—you won't want to miss a moment!
