UCOF Fall Fashion Festival

Date(s): September 19, 2026

Time: 2:00 p.m

Doors open at: 1:30 pm

UCOF Fall Fashion Festival is an annual dynamic, community-driven celebration of fashion, culture, creativity, and belonging. It brings together designers, models, artists, performers, entrepreneurs, and community members from diverse backgrounds to showcase their talents and share their stories. More than a fashion show, the Festival is a participatory arts initiative that uses fashion, performance, music, and storytelling to strengthen cultural inclusion, expand access to the arts, and foster meaningful connections among communities across Atlantic Canada.

The 2026 theme, From Roots to Runway: Designing Belonging, explores how heritage, migration journeys, traditions, and lived experiences shape identity and community. Through vibrant runway presentations, youth-led performances, artistic showcases, and multicultural storytelling, participants will celebrate the rich cultural influences that inspire their creative expression. Each collection, performance, and artistic contribution reflects a unique narrative, demonstrating how fashion and the arts can serve as powerful tools for representation, dialogue, and understanding.

There will be vendor booths to enhance interaction with some of the designers and artists at the event.

Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable.
