Nantucket Shorts Festival

The Scallopers Ball

Late this summer, the 2023 Trashion Show took place at Cisco Brewery and was hosted by Holly Finigan and Rick Gifford. The annual event, which highlights fashion designs made of salvaged and recycled materials, celebrated its sixth year. Local and celebrity models strutted the runway to music by DJ Lay Z Boy in outfits themed around various materials like chip bags, ferry tickets, vape pens, hotel towels, mini alcohol bottles and more.

Ticket holders for this year’s tnpONE, held October 5-8, gathered at the White Elephant. Kicking off the first day was a conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama, who was interviewed by Neil Phillips. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Graham Lynn chatted on stage earlier that day as well. With a schedule jam-packed with innovative films, fun music and inspirational panels, guests were given a well-rounded experience that tackled topics like race in America, the nation’s narrative, democracy, pluralism and philanthropy, and more to help bring political conversations together through bipartisanship with a hope of starting to mend the great divide that the world is experiencing now.
