Please enter the park via the SOUTH Driveway - that will get you closest to the Oyster tent. See image below.
When you arrive, go FIRST to the Oyster Farmer & All Other Vendors check-in tent so we know you’re here, and we’ll show you to your table. We'll have volunteers onsite to help you.
After unloading your vehicle, please plan to move it out of the area quickly for others to load-in.
All load-in must be finished and cars cleared out by 2pm; please be set-up and ready to go for VIP ticket holders at 3pm.
Parking is limited onsite; please park across the street from Legacy Park in the Columbia Seminary lot. Please note vehicles may not be left overnight.
We’ll provide a parking and load-in map closer to the event date.
QUANTITIES
You will receive the equivalent of (24) 750 ml bottles of donated spirits. If you’re using 1.5 oz per drink, that should be 384 full-sized cocktails, but please pour half-sizes or you will run out fast.
We’re expecting about 1,500 attendees (including ticket holders, sponsors, and volunteers).
VIP entry begins at 3:00 PM, General Admission at 4:00 PM — pace accordingly so we avoid waste but keep the drinks going through the full event.
