How do I get to the Fashion Tent? The Fashion Tent is a 22,000 square foot tent in the Capitol District. We are located in the parking lot across Capitol Street from DJ’s Dugout in Downtown Omaha.

Your ticket can either be printed or shown on your smart phone. The parking attendant will have no way to look up your ticket, so please have yours ready.
What do I wear? You will see everything from LBDs to evening gowns, jeans to suits at our event. If you happen to be one of our VIP ticket holders, we encourage you to dress it up a bit more because you will be in runway photos that will be posted all over our website, social media channels and in our magazine. What would you wear if you knew thousands of people would be would be seeing your beautiful mug in our pictures until the end of time? Plus, all attendees will get to strike a pose on the Borsheims Red Carpet!
What’s up with the parking situation? There is plenty of FREE PARKING in lots surrounding the Fashion Tent. Can you tell we are excited about this?? Thanks to the Capitol District for hooking our fashion fans up! Please do not leave valuables in your car. OFW is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
