“The idea behind this event is to shed light on all that the Five Points South neighborhood has to offer, not just culinary,” said Morgan Berney Black, Director of Marketing & Public Relations at Vulcan Park and Museum. “Guests will get a taste of all of it and experience the best of landmark culinary hot-spots, trendy retail, and lively entertainment.”
At the event, a specialty Five Points cocktail will be revealed thanks to Dave’s Pub and Jose Cuervo Tradicional.
Advanced tickets are $30 for an individual and $50 for a couple. These are available for purchase at the Vulcan Park and Museum Website! At the gate, single tickets will be $35 and couple tickets will be $55. Each ticket holder will receive a coupon for a complimentary beer from Good People Brewing Company.
A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the new master plan project underway by the Five Points Alliance.
