Event Details

Cast Off Party! (Check-in) – each night is held from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. on the river level under the International Building at 203 S. St. Mary’s at Market St.

Beautifully decorated boats carrying 12-20 passengers each will float along the river making multiple stops during their journey. Delicious food at each restaurant stop is included in your ticket price. Drinks will be available for purchase at each stop. The culinary voyage takes place on three individual nights. 

To make event parking easier, boats will launch and end at the same location. Enjoy live music during check-in. We do not validate parking.
