Trunk Show

The Trunk Show is an opportunity for Costume College attendees with costuming related businesses to display and sell their goods while still being able to attend classes. It is also an opportunity for our attendees to support their fellow costumer’s entrepreneurial endeavors. 

Trunk Show 2026
Thursday, July 30th
8:00 - 10:00 p.m.

New Location: Costero 

            

We’re making a splash this year! To kick off Costume College with a bang, we’ve moved the Trunk Show to Thursday Evening—and we’re hosting it right alongside the Welcome Party in Costero!

Now you can sip your favorite drink, sit poolside, mingle with fellow Costume College attendees, and shop the most exciting wares from our vendors all at once. It’s the ultimate meet, mingle, and shop experience to start Costume College off in style!

  • Where: Costero (By the Pool & Restaurant)
  • When: Thursday Evening during the Welcome Party - 8:00 - 10:00 pm
  • Vibe: Vibrant, Social, and Full of Treasures!

Vendors
We are thrilled to officially move the Costume College Trunk Show to a prime new slot: Thursday Evening, running concurrently with the Welcome Party! By moving from Sunday to Thursday, we’re capturing the peak energy of the weekend kickoff. We’re also moving to a beautiful new location: Costero (adjacent to the pool and restaurant).

What This Means for You:

  • High Visibility: You’ll be at the heart of the Welcome Party action! Expect high foot traffic as attendees mingle, grab drinks, and look for weekend essentials.
  • The Mix, Mingle, Sip & Shop Atmosphere: The poolside/restaurant setting offers a relaxed, upscale vibe that encourages longer browsing times.
  • Free Up Your Sunday: Enjoy a stress-free final day of Costume College without the rush of a final-hour teardown.

Logistics & Setup:

  • Load-In Time: 6:30 pm on Thursday.
  • Space Layout: Because Costero is a space near the pool and dining area, layouts may differ slightly from the usual space. All participants will receive their assigned space in advance of the event.
  • Lighting & Power: While the area is well-lit for the evening, we recommend bringing small, battery-operated display lights if your wares require extra sparkle.
  • Wi-Fi/Connectivity: As we are near the outdoor areas, we suggest having a backup plan (like a mobile hotspot) for card processing, just in case the signal fluctuates.

We can’t wait to see your incredible wares shine under the evening lights at Costume College 2026!
