IIDA NY Albany City Center to Host 7th Annual Flannel Fest
October 9, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Get Your Flannel On for a Night of Design & Giving Back: A Night of Networking, Autumn Fun, and Fundraising for The Common Thread for the Cure
The International Interior Design Association’s New York Chapter (IIDA NY) is thrilled to present the 7th Annual Flannel Fest, a lively networking and fundraising event for the design community. Join us on Thursday, October 9th, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at the historic Pruyn House (207 Old Niskayuna Road, Latham, NY 12110) for an evening of connection and camaraderie.
Put on your favorite flannel and join IIDA NY’s Albany City Center for an unforgettable evening. Guests will enjoy delicious bites from Old Daley’s Baja Food Truck, refreshing drinks, and tunes from a live DJ. All of this takes place under festive string lights, bringing together designers, dealers, representatives, and architects to celebrate the vibrant spirit of autumn.
“Flannel Fest is more than a celebration of design; it’s a chance for our community to connect and support an incredible cause,” said Kristen Houghton, Event Co-Chair, IIDA NY’s Albany City Center. “Now in its 7th year, this beloved tradition brings together creativity, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to making a difference.”
Raffles, generously sponsored by Our Friends of Flannel, will be available throughout the evening, with all proceeds supporting The Common Thread for the Cure. This remarkable organization unites the architecture and design community in the fight against breast cancer, providing vital financial assistance to individuals and families affected by the disease.
Registration is available via Eventbrite here. Tickets are available for $15 for students, $20 for members, and $40 for non-members.
