WHY: The Real Gunkie Fashion Festival: Season II will be held on Saturday, August 27, 2022, at the Bossier Civic Center in Bossier City. The Real Gunkie Fashion Festival made its debut in August 2021 and returns to showcase all things Louisiana fashion including models, fashion designers, a fashion show, educational fashion segments, retail experts, live entertainment, local and out-of-town vendors, and so much more. This is also an opportunity to network with like-minded people and indulge in fashion and fun. This will be the most talked-about event of the season. Last year, seating sold out twice so we are excited to be back this year with a bigger and better event.
