About
In 2024, The Boutique at the Rink celebrates its 48th annual sale!
The Boutique at the Rink is a sale of new and gently used clothing, household goods, antiques, collectibles, vintage clothing and accessories, toys, games, sporting equipment and high-end boutique items.
The Boutique at the Rink was begun in 1974 by a group of dedicated Bethlehem Steel company wives. Today, more than 400 community volunteers run the event each spring. Learn about our history.
The Boutique at the Rink benefits three organizations serving cancer patients and their families in the Lehigh Valley. In 2023, the Boutique raised over $315,000 and donated $100,000 each to the Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley, St. Luke’s Cancer Center, and St. Luke’s Hospice.
