We will be opening tonight in a show of support for #WeMakeEvents, Red Alert, National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), The Save Our Stages effort and all of those in the music industry who are struggling during this ongoing pandemic. The venue will be lit up in red and we will be playing music from lots of 518 artists.
On September 1st, 2020, #WeMakeEvents, a coalition of trade bodies, businesses, unions, and live events workers, will light up their venues, homes, and cities red in over 1,500 locations across North America to raise public and media awareness in support of the live events sector. Come down and join us in support of this effort and get BOGO on drinks if you wear something red!
