details

  • We highly recommend buying your tickets online in advance. Because your ticket requires a choice between a pizza slice or a taco (so our kitchen teams can prep fresh food for everyone), door tickets will be extremely limited and may cost more!

  • This specific event is a "Grown-Ass" function curated for an adult crowd looking for a mature, after-work vibe. The event is strictly 19+ (Valid ID required at the gate). Due to park regulations and the size of the crowd, pets are not allowed.

  • There is no dedicated festival parking lot at Snider Park, and street parking is limited. We strongly encourage riding your bike, walking, or utilizing public transit to pull up to the party safely. If you plan on enjoying the bars, please schedule a rideshare or taxi!

  • The main festival bars and food redemption stations are completely cashless (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX*, and Debit/Tap are all accepted). Some individual third-party food vendors may accept cash, but a card or phone tap is your best bet for a smooth, no-stress night.

    *may need to ask ahead of time

  • Think of it as a massive, community graffiti wall built on pure positivity! Created by Truth in Motion, this interactive activation is a space for you to pick up a marker and leave your mark. Write down your truths, drop some well wishes for the neighborhood, or leave words of encouragement for fellow partygoers. It’s a collective canvas designed to spread good vibes, inspire connection, and capture the beautiful, unfiltered heart of the community in real-time.
