Get DirectionsGot Questions?
Is this event 21+ only?
Yes. Due to the open bar nature of the event, this is strictly 21+. Valid government-issued ID is required for entry. No exceptions.
How does the Ugly Sweater Contest work?
You can sign up for the contest upon arrival at the check-in desk. Our secret panel of judges will mingle with the crowd. Finalists will be brought on stage at 10:30 PM for a crowd vote to determine the winners!
What's the deal with the White Elephant gift exchange?
It's simple! If you want to participate, bring one wrapped gift with a recommended value of roughly $20. We'll have a designated drop-off/exchange area. It's a fun way to meet new people!
What's the dress code?
Your UGLIEST holiday sweater is mandatory! Okay, not mandatory for entry, but highly encouraged. How do you expect to win $1000 without one? Go all out. Lights, ornaments, tinsel—everything is fair game.
Don't Be a Grinch
This event will sell out. Join hundreds of others for the best night of the holiday season.
