Nail the Runway tickets now on sale
January 20, 2026
Tickets are on sale now for one of Brookings’ most creative and anticipated events of the year. Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity invites the community to attend the 8th annual Nail the Runway fundraising gala on Saturday, March 21, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Dakotah Bank Center.
Sponsored by Brookings Home Team powered by Krogman & Company., Nail the Runway is far more than a traditional gala. Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner and an unforgettable evening of live entertainment featuring a fashion show — with a bold and imaginative twist. Local designers and models take the runway wearing one-of-a-kind creations crafted entirely from raw construction materials such as carpet, tile, keys, mirrors and more. Each year also introduces a special design element, and for 2026, participants will incorporate shingles, adding a fresh challenge and even more excitement to the show.
The night celebrates creativity, community, and Habitat’s mission to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable housing. With vibrant designs, enthusiastic crowds, and a high-energy atmosphere, Nail the Runway continues to be a favorite event for both longtime supporters and first-time attendees.
Tickets are currently available for $65 through March 7th and will increase to $75 after that date. Tickets can be purchased by visiting brookingshabitat.org and clicking on the Nail the Runway tab, or by stopping into the Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity office. Advance ticket purchases are strongly encouraged, as seating is limited.
Those unable to attend in person can still take part by bidding in the online silent auction, which will be open from March 14th through March 21. Community members interested in donating an item to the auction are encouraged to contact the Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity office at (605) 697-2540.
Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of fashion, fun, and philanthropy. Nail the Runway is where creativity meets community, all in support of affordable housing in Brookings.
