We’re celebrating our 12th anniversary, but this year is going to look a little different!

We’re still celebrating from a Friday to Sunday, August 14-16; we’re still going to have live music; food, including Woodstock Farina Pizza and Hungry Squid Pizza, plus Half Baked Treats is popping up; and we’re having a beer and cheese pairing with Paradise Pantry Market; but there is no 12th logo, anniversary glassware or t-shirts; and there is no anniversary beer.

We know this will disappoint some of you, but every year for the last few years we’ve done the same thing, returned to the same formula so to speak, and the thing is we order less glasses, less shirts and they stick around for longer. We hear time and again from y’all you have so many glasses and t-shirts, so we’re listening. And about the beer, the beer used to be gone in 6 weeks, and then it was a couple months, and time just stretched out a little more each year, until this past year where it got long in the tooth well into 2026.

You hear people are drinking less, you hear they are trending towards lighter beers and we are seeing that in real time. 2026 has been a challenging year for many reasons, so we’re celebrating 12 years how we can – some of our favorite bands will be back, including the Vanise Terry Band, Natalie Wattre and Adam G. And this weekend is really about celebrating the community that has come to be because of Poseidon.

We’ll also have some specials to celebrate all of you who have supported us and shown up for us, for the community, for the crew. There are 1000s of anniversary glasses and t-shirts out there. Dig yours out for we’ll have drinks specials tied to all of this prior anniversary merch on Friday and Saturday, and then a special Sunday event in DJL for our “unofficial coaster club” members. So stay tuned for the details and we truly hope you’ll join us to celebrate our 12th!!!
