Ragfinery’s Flora & Fauna Upcycle Runway Show @ The Leopold Crystal Ballroom

Apr 14 @ 5:30 pm
Ragfinery's Flora & Fauna Upcycle Runway Show @ The Leopold Crystal Ballroom | Bellingham | Washington | United States

Ragfinery is hosting its 4th annual Upcycle Runway Challenge, just in time for Earth Day! Every year brave participants of all skill levels are tasked with transforming castaway materials into runway-ready designs. This exciting event is a celebration of creativity and community as we come together to be inspired, witnessing local artists and craftspeople transforming ordinary into extraordinary.

This year’s theme, Flora & Fauna, celebrates our natural world in its elegance and wonder, challenging participants to design and construct costumes, garments and accessories that embody the beauty and grace displayed in our natural world. With the support of enthusiastic community members, participants will walk the red carpet runway for a panel of local judges and awards will be presented in six categories on the night of the show.

Join us for a lively exhibition of local talent, food, wine, entertainment and awards, all in the name of raising funds for Ragfinery’s unique nonprofit project. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7:00 p.m. Tickets on sale at ragfinery.com while supplies last.
