The Journey is The Thing Tour

The Journey Is the Thing Tour is an immersive variety experience of live music, curated installations, film, and a panel discussion with special guests — honoring grief, love, memory, being and becoming at the heart of connection.

At the center of the evening is one question:

How do we live meaningfully — and leave something worth carrying on?

Audiences are invited into the world of Kid Admiral's debut film, The Long Road Home — a deeply moving documentary that follows the McMillian family in the wake of De'Andre's passing, a young man loved deeply by a community that still carries him.

Celebrate the power of community and connection. Part family reunion. Part block party. Part healing experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Curated Installations Step inside experiences built to hold memory, grief, love, joy, and hope all at once.

Film Screening The Long Road Home Kid Admiral's debut documentary — a film that asks what it means to live a life of immeasurable impact and meaning, and what a community carries forward when someone they love is gone.

Live Music Whatever you're carrying — loss of a loved one, a relationship, an identity, a season of life — let music meet you there. We use music as memory, release, and connection that transcends.

Community & Conversation A panel discussion with special guests opens space for the questions this film raises.
