The Como neighborhood is no stranger to DIY house venues. On most weekends during the spring, summer and fall, you can find a Como house hosting some of the University’s favorite local bands.

Since the summer of 2023, Pink Place has been no different. This house has hosted dozens of local musicians and bands on their backyard stage with the iconic pink house as its backdrop. 

Pink Place has garnered a lively community of music lovers and musicians for the past three years, with this summer noted as their official end.
