Our 2025 Sponsors











This event is a collaboration of food & fashion that will heighten your senses.
Take a trip into the dark side of food and fashion through an immersive 5-course wine dinner, featuring 5 local chefs, 3 local designers and 2 drag queens. Each chef is partnered with a designer to create a food dish that will embody their fashion piece allowing you to not only see the fashion, but taste it. "Noir", meaning black, is a part of our foundation, therefore, all of the food and fashion pieces are black. This year, we are proud to incorporate the art of drag into the experience. Save the date November 6, 2026 O'Noir: The Experience is coming back!
