WE ARE ON, RAIN OR SHINE! 

Most of the event will now be inside, so no fear of getting your outfit wet.

Clothing Swap/Donation – Trash Cats will be organizing the clothing swap, and they accept both vintage and trend items.  They ask for a 5-item limit for the swap, so bring your best! Clothing donations are also accepted, and will go to Martha’s Table.

Bring Clothes, Win Prizes! – Anyone bringing items to swap or donate can enter a raffle, with prizes including gift certificates to local vintage stores and restaurants, and fantastic vintage pieces!

------

Celebrate everything loved twice! Don a vintage ensemble and visit The Textile Museum for a night of fashion, music and drinks.

Wear your best vintage outfit to win prizes in our best-dressed contest!

Have a special pre-loved piece? Trade it for something new-to-you! Trash Cats, D.C.’s own vintage clothing exchange experts, are coordinating a swap in our garden.

DC-based band Laughing Man will be playing in the garden, and DJ Baby Alcatraz will be spinning classic 45's in the galleries.

Pinkberry is back with their delicious frozen yogurt, and we welcome the talented bakers from Whisked!  with their fabulous treats for sale. Explore the current exhibit, Second Lives: the Age-Old Art of Recycling Textiles, which sheds light on the different ways cultures around the world repurpose clothing and furnishings—and visit the popular exhibition Green: the Color and the Cause in its final week.

Please also note:  The food and drink vendors will be accepting cash only.

Presented in partnership with The Pink Line Project.
Fee: $10 (members receive 1 complimentary drink)
