Join us on Friday, September 5th, from 6 to 10 PM for a family-friendly event to kick off the KSU football season in style!
Enjoy our full food and beverage menu throughout the day, and be sure to try the return of our football-season favorite, Purple Pride Cider on tap. Plus, we’re excited to debut our newest wine release: Wildcat Drool. This easy-drinking rosé is sure to become your new go-to for tailgates and celebrating purple pride.
For one night only, we’re offering special treats just for the kids:
- kid's charcuterie cups
- kid-friendly purple slushies
- Wildcat ice cream sundaes
As another special treat for the kiddos, we'll also be joined by a face painter and balloon artist from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.
Later in the evening, stick around for live music from the K-State Pub Crawl Band.
To make the night even sweeter, Savannah will be on-site selling her fresh-pressed and hand-crafted lemonade—non-alcoholic and spiked options available. You won't want to miss out on this refreshing twist on classic lemonade, in partnership with Wichita-based 86 Cold Press.
