What is the dress code?
Flexible. Explore your creativity with cosplay and outfits, rock that baller shirt, or just throw on your old tie-dye and embrace your inner spirit. That said, let us not use fashion as a means to stoke discord, division, or stir unnecessary negativity.

An ID is only required if you plan on drinking alcohol. Anyone who plans on drinking alcohol will have to show a valid, non-expired, government issued photo ID, no matter how old you think you may look. Anyone without proper ID, regardless of age, will be treated as under 21 and not allowed to buy, hold, or drink alcohol.
