About the application

The sing-along pop party where the patio becomes the star. Outside, drag performers bring the camp and claws while DJ Barry Browder spins the pop anthems everyone can’t help but belt out. Enjoy lawn-game fun with giant Jenga, cornhole, and an easygoing social vibe perfect for flirting and mixing. Step inside the bar into a darker, more playful space where the energy turns deeper and more cruise as the night goes on. Volunteers should arrive at LIT bar no later than 5:30pm for set up help. The Event runs from 7pm - 12am. Volunteers will be checking guests in, applying wrist bands, checking ID's, and wanding guests for security.
