Noon To Night Fashion Show Returns Sept. 14

From Avalon: Mark your calendar and call your stylist: Fall’s hottest fashion show, Noon to Night at Avalon benefitting Bert’s Big Adventure, is back this September! For one magical evening, Avalon’s ExperienceMakers will transform Avalon Boulevard into a spectacular, blue-carpeted runway that evokes images of haute couture fashion weeks from around the globe – creating a perfectly picturesque catwalk in the center of the “urbanburb.”

The event will kick off with a cocktail reception including light fare from Avalon’s famed chef-driven eateries followed by a fashion show starring Bert’s Big Adventure kids alongside Atlanta celebrities modeling more than 100 looks hand-picked by Avalon’s shops while CNN’s Christi Paul and Kristin Klingshirn of The Bert Show emcee the exciting evening. A special guest appearance by Bert Weiss, host of The Bert Show and founder of Bert’s Big Adventure, is also in store for lucky attendees. Following the show, guests are invited to stay and dance the night away while a live DJ spins top hits to end the evening on a high note.

All proceeds from the event will help provide a magical, all expenses-paid, five-day journey to Walt Disney World® for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families through Bert’s Big Adventure. All of Bert’s kids participating in the show will be pampered by The Cosmetic Market and Van Michael Salon as they get runway ready. Chick-fil-A will also cater the Bert’s Big Adventure Kids Lounge as they prep for their big debut. Last year, Noonto Night raised more than $50,000 for the charity.

Guests will sip on beer and wine along with craft cocktails featuring liquor provided by Watershed Distillery as they enjoy bites from Avalon’s amazing restaurants.

Fabulous décor provided by Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Mitchell Gold + Bob Willians and West Elm will set the scene for the luxe affair. Pottery Barn Kids and Chick-Fil-A at Avalon will create an awesome pre-show lounge for Bert’s kids.
