This being the fourth year of Fashion's Night Out, most retailers are on board with the event. Expect a lot of DJs, some drinks and discounts—and, from a select few shops, free stuff. We've combed through the official FNO site listings and our own overstuffed inbox to bring you the night's best freebies, from fortune tellers (it's a big night for that industry) to faux tattoos to manicures. For more FNO guides, make sure to click over to our list of the best block parties and the top shopping center events.
