How It Works

This family-friendly event is free to attend however, the performers do work for gratuities. This gives you the chance to watch the show, and then decide how much to tip after you’ve seen the performance – it’s the most honest form of entertainment. Tips are welcomed and appreciated. Performers will rotate on a schedule on Thursday from 5-9 pm, Friday and Saturday from 1-9 pm, and Sunday 11-1 pm.
