  • Fashion for a Cause — 6 p.m. Thursday, June 4

A perennial favorite, Annapolis’s premier fashion celebration returns to the U.S. Naval Academy’s Fluegel Alumni Center. This red-carpet event spotlights the season’s best looks, with community models showcasing summer 2026 styles from local boutiques. Guests will savor signature cocktails and an array of sweet and savory offerings from area restaurants and food trucks before and after the high-energy runway show. The event supports the nonprofit’s Community Health programs, including Chesapeake Kids, a vital program serving children with life-limiting illnesses and young people coping with grief.
