The preview will include the inside of the TCF Center and continue along the River to Hart Plaza.

“Charity Preview will be a party inside and outside that welcomes both an updated creative black-tie audience as well as late-night summer-chic attired guests,” 2020 NAIAS Chairman Doug North said in a press release. “Warm temperatures and late sunsets will make for a spectacular evening in terms of what attendees are going to see and experience at this special night of giving.”
