If you miss your allotted time, you will be able to enter later to purchase bottles with any other group.

If there are extra bottles after the initial sales, Darkness Day attendees will be able to buy up to four bottles of Darkness starting at 4:30pm (while quantities last).

Parking: Surly’s neighbors have been gracious enough to let us use their parking lots. Don’t make a mess. Overflow parking is available at Caribou across Hwy. 100.

Limited bike parking is available for those of you who are hardcore enough to go green. Look for it on the North side of 48th and Drew.

If you need to leave your car here, no problem. Please have it moved by Monday morning or it will be towed.

THE RULES:
Must be 21+ to enter unless accompanied by parent. No tickets needed.

DON’T SHOW UP BEFORE 3:30 on Friday! Neighboring businesses will still be open and we want to respect their space and employees.

Any tents/structures that are up during daylight hours will not be allowed.

We will have volunteers helping with the line overnight. Please follow their direction as they can blackball you from the event if you don’t.

As always, be safe and arrange a ride or take a taxi home.

Pro Tip:
The event always thins out later in the afternoon. Come on out in the afternoon to enjoy the free bands and the brewery.
