Pop Up Shopping at The Historic Truitt House
Pop-Up Shopping at The Truitt House – October 9, 2025 ✨
Get ready, Hampton Roads—shopping just got a whole lot more exciting. On Thursday, October 9, 2025, from 4–8 p.m., The Truitt House in historic downtown Suffolk will host its first ever Pop-Up Shopping Event.
For one night only, this 115-year-old mansion will transform into a boutique marketplace featuring nine handpicked vendors. From Arizona to Georgia, designers and makers are bringing their freshest styles, unique gifts, and one-of-a-kind finds to Hampton Roads.
This is your chance to shop exclusive collections you won’t see anywhere else—clothing, jewelry, accessories, and artisan treasures—all under one historic roof. With free admission, no reservations required, and everything in one place, it’s the ultimate one-stop shopping night out.
Make an evening of it: come early, shop until you drop, then enjoy dinner with friends at Suffolk’s favorite downtown restaurants along Main and Washington.

The Truitt House opens its doors for an afternoon of pink whimsy, polished tea service, and the kind of charm that would make Eloise herself feel right at home. Guests will enjoy tiers of dainty treats, endless teacups, and a setting as grand as it is gracious.
Every detail is designed to delight — from the rare historic beauty of The Truitt House to the playful surprises sprinkled throughout the day. This year, guests will also enjoy an exclusive pop-up with June St. George, offering one-of-a-kind finds to make the day truly unforgettable. Whether you come with your daughter, granddaughter, or a favorite little friend, you’ll leave with memories as sweet as the pastries.
