DIRTBAG CARNIVAL 2025

a carnival to celebrate dirtbaggery. If you haven't been to dirtbag carnival before, here's what you need to know:

• you're expected to come in "costume" unless you're naturally a dirtbag. Think Joe Dirt, mullets, 80s hair metal, Trailer Park Boys, trashy... The dirtbaggier the better.
• kids are technically allowed, but not recommended. It gets a little weird and you don't want to have uncomfy conversations in the car on the way home.
• live music and dancing this year will be happening throughout the event, featuring performances by Ham Flower and The Nightmares.
• Moonshine Line Dancing will be giving dance lessons that are "different" than what they usually do. We asked that their lessons be more... dirtbaggy for this event.
• mullet milk makes its return... it's a cheap and dirty high ABV malt liquor brewed specifically for dirtbag carnival.

The carnival-like games are from 4-6pm and they're rigged. You're expected to lose but you'll have fun losing so it's fine.

$10 entry gets you a red solo cup, 2 drink tokens, access to the music and events, and the potential to get sticky from beer.
