The Purple Room produces events and stages throughout the city, most frequently at Assiniboia Downs for the long-running MANITOBA NIGHT MARKET & FESTIVAL and the MB FOOD TRUCK BATTLES. We also help with booking and producing other large events at the Downs.

Schedules and ticket links will be up soon!

We produce CaRaVaN OPEN MIC + OPEN STAGE, a long-running “anything goes” open mic that takes place on Monday nights.

CaRaVaN moves indoors for the 2024/25 fall/winter/spring season every Monday night… with a twist! There will now be 2 sets happening on either side of Monday Night Trivia at X-Cues Café & Lounge – from 6:30 to 7:30 PM and 9 to 10:30 PM – with sign up beginning 15 minutes before each set. Come for only one set, or stay for the whole night and take part in trivia from 7:30 to 9 PM.

For those not able to make it in person (or just wanting to watch later), we will be livestreaming one show per month to the Purple Room YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

For more information on CaRaVaN and an up-to-date schedule (including streaming), visit www.caravanopenmic.com.
