Our two giant heated tents will house the Illuminate EDM dance party and The Fabulous Funcie Femmes and Friends Burlesque Show.

Party Headphones brings a "Silent Disco" for a new kind of fun! You are handed a pair of headphones and what appeared to be a crowd dancing to silence, becomes a full sensory audio experience!

Multiple outdoor bars and food vendors will keep the libations flowing and munchies available throughout the night.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate.
