Price:

Pre-sale: $15, $20, or $25 (sliding scale).

At the door $25, cash or venmo only

No one turned away for a lack of funds

The purpose of sliding scale pricing is to create finacial access to those who may otherwise not be able to afford the event. If you are able to pay more, this helps us sustain our event and create finacial access for others.

All ticket sales are final. This event is 18 and up. Online tickets close 1/17/26 at 12pm.


This event is mask required (KN95 or better) indoors. We will have masks available for folks who don’t have one, or need a better one. There will also be a purifier in the space. All drinks and food must be consumed outside in our parklet, masks must be kept on at all times indoors. As a friendly reminder, if you are feeling ill, test positive for covid, or have come in contact with a person who has tested positive for covid, please stay home. Let’s keep each other safe, I promise this will not be the last event. We will also be implementing covid tracing, so if you pay at the door we will be requiring folks to leave their email.


This event is in collaboration with Open Test Kitchen and Asúkar.
