2026 will feature a first of a kind VIP, traveling experience- get ready to experience; Three Destinations, Six Exclusive Restaurants, Signature Cocktails, Art & Music...all in one night!
FRIDAY NIGHT: The VIP Adventure Begins
Checkpoint 1: Oxbow Bar & Grill – “Meet the Artist” Welcome Reception
Your journey launches with waterfront elegance at Oxbow’s second-floor venue- your first stamp in the weekend Passport. VIPs are greeted with curated bites from local culinary gems, handcrafted cocktails, and the smooth soundtrack of a live saxophonist as the city skyline reflects over the river. And yes, you’ll be meeting the 2026 Poster Artist, Anthony Murrill, in an intimate setting created just for you.
Checkpoint 2: Luminary Pool Deck – The Vibe Voyage
Then, a chauffeured transition delivers you to the Luminary’s rooftop oasis. With panoramic riverfront views, live DJ beats, live painting, tastings from partner restaurants, and the signature cocktail “Calypso,” this rooftop hour becomes an electric immersion into the festival weekend ahead.
Final Destination: Caloosa Sound Amphitheater – Under the Stars Concert
The night crescendos at the amphitheater with a concert under the night sky, performed exclusively for VIP guests by the Gulf Coast Symphony’s High School Jazz Ensemble- a magical, open-air finale that seals your final Friday passport stamp.
This Friday itinerary- three destinations, six tasting experiences, signature cocktails, curated music, and hosted transitions- is not only new… It is unprecedented.
