Carbondale Arts Fashion Show: Step Right Up

We’re excited to signal spring with the best fashion event in the Roaring Fork Valley. Returning for 3 nights at the Carbondale Rec Center March 12-14, 2026. It’s that time! Is your alarm set for Fashion Show tickets? It should be. Each year we’re humbled by how quickly they sell out. We’re beyond grateful for the support of this event. We’re deep in it with the details – the theme is exciting, the directors are pumped, and the cast is strong. 

Step Right Up is an immersive experience filled with all that you’d expect from a night at the carnival! The ambiance will be vibrant, indulgent, thrilling, and nostalgic. The “carnival” our audience experiences will also be a metaphor for curated distortions of reality in a world designed to steal our attention. Step Right Up will invite all of us to see what it's like inside the spectacle and emerge changed.

All tickets go on sale February 4 at NOON sharp!

$75 General Admission | $175 VIP (limit 4)

New this year: we'll be offering a Community Access Ticket based on a lottery system for the Thursday night show ($45 general admission) to keep an accessible option in addition to gaining entry through volunteering. 150 winners will be selected Monday, February 16 and notified via email. Lottery registration begins Wednesday, February 4 at 12:00pm.

This event is a creative endeavor made for, and from within our community. As always we could use some helping hands, with several opportunities for involvement. Volunteers are able to see the show for free the night of their shift. Sign-ups will be available starting at 12:00pm on February 4 as well.
