Pink Parlour Festival 2012





The Arts and Crafts revolution is now!

The Pink Parlour Festival, is a unique one-of-a-kind event that caters to women of all ages. This festival was conceived with the purpose of celebrating the creativity of women. Our objective is to unite women, while bringing together the collections that they create. These include artists such as crafter's, visual artists, and performing artists amongst others. Many additional attractions also include musical performances, a fashion show spotlighting young, "Up 'n' Coming" designers, children's activities, along with the excitement of horse racing, concession foods to fine dining and so much more!

The world of crafts have evolved and this a great opportunity to be a part of The Pink Parlour Festival, all the while promoting your business in a fun and exciting atmosphere. Our concept has been to spotlight women and promote community involvement. We have also invited several non-profits, such as Avon-walk, The Girl Scouts, along with any other organizations whom fit the criteria that show interest in being a part of the festivities. This years event will take place on Sunday March 25th 2012 at the Santa Anita Race Park adjacent to the Westfield Santa Anita mall.

Seeings how we feel so strongly about the "handmade movement" as well as promoting it, has been the driving force behind it's conception and development. This and our passion for the arts compelled us to create this festival as a tool from which to showcase the multitude of talent within our community.


Just added the amazing sounds of No Duh!!! The No Doubt / Gwen Stefani tribute band!!!
