Starting July 6 through July 16, a special "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" discount ticket package is being offered. The package only applies to General Admission tickets.
Shippingport Brewing will host the official afterparty, which is free to enter and if you have your wristband, you get free hot dogs and $1 off all beers. There will also be a DJ and a special taproom-only beer release at the afterparty.
