Plus, there’s a “KidZone” to keep the young ones entertained all night with face-painters, balloon artists (of course!) and more.
General admission tickets cost $15 and VIP tickets, which are available to guests over the age of 21, cost $50. VIP tickets include all-you-can-eat barbecue, two alcoholic beverage tokens, a commemorative T-shirt and designated seating. Kids five and under are free! To purchase tickets click here!
