Dress Code: Fresh, Fly, Fabulous, Old-School Hip-Hop Glam
With EPMD and Black Sheep taking the stage, come dressed like you’re ready for the ultimate throwback—but make it grown, glamorous, and your own. Think:
- Classic ’80s & ’90s hip-hop style, sneakers, caps, tracksuits, bombers, graphic tees
- Denim, leather, bold prints, gold chains, hoops, hats, and statement accessories
- Elevated streetwear, hip-hop-inspired cocktail looks, sequins, sparkle, and a little extra attitude
- Take an iconic old-school look and make it 2026
Why It Matters
Last year alone, CCC distributed thousands of pounds of fresh food each month to families across our community. The need is especially high during the winter, when heating costs rise, and budgets get stretched thin. By attending or sponsoring the BonBon Holiday Bash, you’re not just buying a ticket to a party; you’re ensuring that families can gather around their tables with dignity, abundance, and joy.
SPONSORSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE!
By sponsoring this event, you can gain recognition for your business or organization and support an incredible cause right here in Howard County. Sponsorship packages include VIP and general admission tickets, plus recognition on Columbia Community Care's social media accounts, event marketing materials, and in-person at the BonBon Bash.
