With a sprinkling of events leading up to the real deal in September, euphoria is setting the stage for a better-than-ever event this fall. Wondering if you should grab tickets to the one-day events next time? I say yes! Here’s why:

“A Southern Remedy”

The second annual event brought together the soulful musings of Jacob Johnson and local favorites like Farm Fresh Fast and Hare and Field. The event held at Revel opened euphoria’s year with an upbeat attitude leading to a full dance floor. Samplings of sliders and southern themed cocktails layered on the feelings of southern comfort.

“Roast and Toast”

This year’s ticket launch for the main euphoria events in September came in the form of an oyster roast- and toast! White Stone Oyster Co. kept guests busy with shucking tables, and Liquid Catering provided deliciously light cocktails, welcoming summer. Swig & Swine’s offerings were a crowd favorite as well, and The Rutherford’s cozy setup had us feeling like we were back-porch sitting.

What’s next?

Tickets for September’s euphoria events (Thursday, September 20th – Sunday, September 23rd) are available on the website now, but we can’t help but hope there are more samplings to come leading up to the fall. I’m keeping my eyes open…
