5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Back by popular demand for the second year in a row! A fabulous evening awaits: we invite you to join us for a night of fashion, food, and fun to celebrate our diverse community through the stories we wear. A runway show highlighting Maine Jewish, immigrant, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and differently abled fashion designers and models will be amplified by an internationally inspired cocktail and small plates hour, live music by the multinational and multigenerational Bondeko , an exciting auction, and a decadent dessert display for a grand finale and sweet ending. Join us for this cultural extravaganza in support of the Maine Jewish Museum!
