NEW - No alcohol to be brought on site

Vendors will be onsite for guests to purchase all types of alcohol at affordable prices and food and soft drinks are still permitted for guests to enjoy the picnic vibes.

  • NO ALCOHOL is permitted to be brought into the event space, any alcohol attempted to be brought in or smuggled in to the event space will be CONFISCATED and disposed of.
