Omaha Fashion Week

Runway shows by Midwest designers over several nights at the Omaha Design Center, billed as the Midwest's largest fashion event.

Several nights in late August (a spring show is sometimes held in February) · Omaha Design Center

Omaha Fashion Week puts regional designers on a professional runway, usually over several nights in late August, with a spring season some years. It calls itself the Midwest's largest fashion event.

The fall 2025 season ran five nights, August 20 to 24, at the Omaha Design Center on Cuming Street. Each night features a different set of designers, from emerging students to established local labels.

The organization skipped its February 2026 spring show and said it would return in August 2026 with a new season. It is a dressed-up night out and a good look at Omaha's creative scene.

Highlights

  • Runway shows by regional designers
