The Trashquerade Ball is the annual fundraiser for the Chewelah Creative District. It's also an opportunity for us to celebrate the incredible support & creativity in our community and the people who make it happen.

Save Our Oceans

Every bit of plastic in our oceans threatens the lives of countless marine animals. 🐟🐠 Join us in our mission to transform plastic pollution into powerful art to educate and inspire change.

In addition to the Trashion Show and a Silent Auction, this year's party will also feature gorgeous sustainable decorations. Everyone on the guest list will vote to decide the winners. Join us for signature cocktails & mocktails, light refreshments, music & dancing.

We'll have a champagne toast to the New Year as we count down with Central Time (10pm). The party ends at 10:30pm, giving you the opportunity to either call it a night, relieve the sitter, and still ring in the new year at midnight.

Enter the 3rd Annual Trashion Show or Decoration Contest!

This event will once again feature our community's incredible talent, creativity, and resourcefulness with the the 3rd Annual Trashion Show. Our categories are Complete Outfit and Accessories.

Recycled Decoration Contest

New for this year! Create ocean‑inspired décor or sculptures using recycled or repurposed materials. Think coral reefs from cardboard, jellyfish from bottles, driftwood sea creatures — your imagination is the limit!

All entries must be made with materials that are reused, repurposed, or reclaimed.
