Party of the Decades
Anheuser Busch Brewery
JLJacksonville.org
Everyone will start in the Rockin’ 50s with a Level 1 access ticket, where swingin’ 50s artist Billy Buchanan will be performing. But if you don’t want to get stuck there, make sure you upgrade to the Funky 70s Level 2 access ticket for added admission into the 70s where the Boogie Freaks will be getting groovy. The fun doesn’t stop there though. Get a Rockin’ 90s All Access Pass to be able to flow from room to room as the night progresses, where DJ EL will be slammin’ the party for the night.
