In the Pink
The Palms, 16 Princess Drive, Grace Bay, ProvidencialesNo new date set yet.
In the Pink is an annual fundraiser and social shopping event held at the luxurious Palms Resort in Grace Bay. The event is very popular with the resident community and often raises well over $50,000 for the National Cancer Society.
It also features dancing, a live DJ, a silent auction with great local prizes, and a raffle. In the Pink’s raffle prize is typically a gift from local jewelry shop Jai’s. In past years, raffle winners have walked away with a diamond necklace and Rolex watch.
Given that it's one of the most popular annual social events on Providenciales, In the Pink draws large crowds. Parking is available at The Palms, but the lot can fill up during the event. Consider carpooling with friends, or book a private taxi and schedule a pick-up time.
What Happens at In the Pink
Each year, a sea of shoppers in extravagant pink outfits flock to The Palms looking for deals on new and gently-used designer goods, from handbags and shoes to clothing, accessories, and jewelry. The event usually begins around dusk, when the first wave of shoppers start searching the racks. Prices are usually heavily discounted.
The pop-up shops are housed within the rooms and suites of The Palms, which is known for its elegant Caribbean atmosphere.
Various food and drink options are available for purchase during the night in the courtyard, where live local DJs, restaurant pop-ups, and bartenders set up to serve the party that follows the shopping.
How to Attend
To attend the shopping portion of the event, you’ll need to buy a ticket. Tickets generally include a welcome drink, but not much else. These can be purchased in person at The Palms, The Shore Club, Jai’s, and online on the local event ticket platform, IsleHelp. Alternatively, you can buy tickets for In the Pink at the door. Note that tickets aren’t required to attend In the Pink’s courtyard party, but you'll be asked to pay a $10 entry fee.
Tickets are sold at different tiers. VIP tickets, which are $75 (2023 price) grant you early access to the shopping area. The idea is that the earlier you go, the better the deals you’ll get.
The Pink Poker Tournament is a separate event with separate tickets. It happens at the same time as In the Pink, either at The Palms or at the Casablanca Casino in Leeward. Tickets at the door cost $100. Payouts are awarded to the first-, second-, and third-place winners.
Raffle tickets, which are $100, are sold separately.
What to Bring
You’ll need cash to pay for drinks and food throughout the night, as well as for any shopping you plan to do in the rooms. Bring about $200 to cover a meal, three to four drinks, and a few discounted items from the shopping racks.
Don’t forget to wear something pink. It’s not mandatory, but most guests wear vibrant pink attire to the event.
