The Doll Challenge and all three Trashion Clash events support the main Trashion Show, a featured event of Crazy Callen Weekend during the Sequim Irrigation Festival.
Create, compete, and give back
These creative challenges are fundraisers for local charities and the Irrigation Festival. They lead to the 2027 Trashion Show on May 1 at the Guy Cole Event Center in Carrie Blake Park.
Bring your imagination and cheer on your favorite participants as discarded materials become runway-worthy fashion.
