Early-bird tickets are on sale for the Charleston Parks Conservancy’s signature fundraiser, Party for the Parks, coming to Colonial Lake on Saturday, Nov. 2. This year’s theme is “Call of the Wild” where punk rock meets animal instincts.
Park lovers will be decked out in animal prints, neon, mohawks, leather, and studs while enjoying food, drinks and entertainment at Charleston’s iconic Colonial Lake. Early-bird general admission tickets are $95 each; limited quantities are available. Once those tickets sell out, regular general admission tickets will increase to $115 each.
Limited quantities of early-bird VIP tickets are $225 each. Once those tickets are sold the price increases to $250 each. VIP ticket holders get access to the VIP tent, sponsored by First National Bank, which includes a private lounge with a bar, signature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and food from Hospitality Management Group, Harvest Catering, and Charleston Chocolatiers and VIP-only entertainment.
All tickets include open bar and food from a number of local restaurants and caterers. New to this year’s party are Parcel 32, The Refuge, Basic Kitchen, Goulette Rotisserie & Grill, and Joséphine Wine Bar. Plus, there will be live music, “wild” entertainment and a silent auction of curated packages and exclusive experiences.
