Join us in skelebrating everything summer! We’re taking the party completely outdoors this year, and all the fun and festivities will take place ***ON THE LAWN AT THE WEST END OF OUR BUILDING! (the end farthest from Lemont Rd.)***
Think of it as the best big ol’ picnic you’ve ever been to! There’ll be lots of lawn to sprawl on — feel free to bring a picnic blanket, or add one to your pre-order to have it waiting for you at the door! Compact camp chairs are also welcome, but please, NO coolers, pets, strollers, oversized/obstructive seating, or outside food/drink.
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY THOSE 21+ WILL BE ADMITTED AFTER 7:30PM. Please bring a valid ID. This is for safety, security (and insurance) reasons. Thank you for understanding.
We have a lot of parking on-site, but strongly encourage cabbing/ride-sharing so everyone can imbibe responsibly ๐
