Earth Day Fashion Trashion Witch Walk
April 19 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Celebrate Earth Day with a joyful, creative twist. The Earth Day Fashion Trashion Witch Walk is a community runway-style event where sustainability meets style, imagination, and movement.
Local designers transform rescued fabric scraps into wearable art, brought to life by our dancing witches as models. These are not costumes and not fast fashion. They are one-of-a-kind creations made from materials that would otherwise be discarded, reimagined as powerful, expressive design.
This event is playful, collaborative, and welcoming. It’s about creativity over consumption, joy over judgment, and community over competition. Expect music, movement, laughter, and a runway experience that feels more like a celebration than a fashion show.
5 PM – 6 PM: Meet & Greet. Grab a drink and some food. Maybe mingle with a witch or two before the show starts. We’re also holding a silent auction with 100% proceeds going to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
6 PM – 7 PM: The “witch-walk” begins as our witchy models strut the runway in their designer threads made from scraps. There will be a panel of judges PLUS live audience voting! The top 3 designs (and the audience winner) will receive in no particular order: cash prizes, gift cards, tickets to VAFW, as well as ALL designs will walk the runway in October at VA Fashion Week. The Grand Prize winner will have the opportunity to create a CAPSULE COLLECTION at VA Fashion Week!
While votes are being tallied, the OV Sea Hags will perform the German “Broom Dance” with a second round inviting the attendees to dance along. Audience participation is highly encouraged so bring your broom and dance with us. Let’s cast joy like sea spray!
Witches are the natural caretakers of the earth. This walk honors that spirit through art, reuse, and collective joy.
We want to thank our sponsors VA Fashion Week, CozyPure, and AJ Gator’s East Beach for graciously allowing this event to take place!
