What should I wear?

Festive holiday attire encouraged! The event is held at The Guardsmen Christmas Tree Lot which sells living trees for weeks leading up to the event so, despite the well-swept floors, your shoes may get dirty. It can get cold so bring layers. Check out pictures from the 2022 Crab Feed for inspiration.

Do I need to bring money? Are drinks included?

Drinks are included in all tickets. Please bring cash to tip. All tips and proceeds go to support Bay Area at-risk youth.

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

Per state law, guests must be 21 or older to attend; both scannable tickets and valid government ID's are required at the door for check-in - no exceptions.

What's The Guardsmen's IRS status?

The Guardsmen is a registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation. Donations are greatly appreciated and highly encouraged but are separate from ticket purchases. Only a ticket purchase grants the ticket holder entrance to the event. Separate donations alone can not qualify for entrance.

What is the refund policy? How can I transfer my registration?

While registrations are non-refundable, you may transfer your registration to a friend on Eventbrite. To change your registration you need to update your order information with the new runner's information. Log into Eventbrite, click Tickets (under your name in the top right), and follow this screenshot.
