SOLD OUT! Join us for the best fashion extravaganza of the spring! This year’s theme is Camera Obscura, inspired by film noir styling and storytelling. It touches on voyeurism, secrets, dreams, and ultimately the mystery of life. This alluring event sells out annually, it’s not to be missed.
The Carbondale Arts Fashion Show will be in full swing, but you don’t need a ticket to flirt with fashion.
Starting at 5pm Main Street becomes a pedestrian corridor between Weant Blvd and 3rd Street. Grab a bite from a selection of food trucks and get a glamour shot at the Community Glam Cam located at 4th & Main Street.
