Upcoming Events and Closures
All public events are FREE unless noted. Events are updated on a weekly basis and we denote who the hosts are. We rent out our space to the community, so we are sometimes closed to the public for private events. We will post upcoming closures and events below…
Calendar
We are a community space with a curated selection of culturally affirming products and events.
Parable answers the collective desire for a place of belonging, networking, and a rich shopping experience.
We offer a hand-picked selection of artisan products, books, plants, records, clothing, and hot tea. Through partnerships and collaborations, we host vibrant events. We center those who are often left out of the conversation: Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), Disabled and LGBTQ+ folk, and local artists and authors. In its fullest form Parable invites you to not just shop, but also hang out and stay a while.
Make an Appointment to Pick Up Your Order
You can now schedule an appoinment to pick up your books! This is a more reliable option as sometimes we are closed for events or change our hours.
