We are just a few weeks away from the first annual Catalina Cocktail Mixer at Albert Whitted Park, located at 480 Bayshore Dr. S.E. in St. Pete.
Saturday, May 11 from 2-8 p.m., attendees will have access to over 30 craft cocktail, beer, wine and spirit vendors.
Before you arrive, watch Step Brothers to get in the mood, pop on your sport jacket or festive fit and get ready to celebrate.
Although the reference is over a decade old, it is still worthy of an ode to one of the most intense parties ever thrown. Nearly 15 local food trucks and vendors, like Bacon Boss and Cigar City Smokers, will gather to provide bites throughout the mixer.
The event is hosting live music and games like giant Jenga and cornhole.
Drink sampling tickets include unlimited samples of booze from 4-8 p.m., which run for $39 pre-sale and $45 at the gate.
VIP tickets include entry into the VIP tented lounge, complimentary open cocktail bar and beer from 2-8p.m., appetizers, free parking for $89 until they run out.
General admission tickets cost $15 and covers entry into the event, but does not include free sampling.
The event is 21 and up, and dog-friendly.
A portion of the proceeds go to benefit a local St. Pete charity.
