This year’s event has some exciting additions
Emcee Lucy Brennan, of MINT/820, and MIX Magazine will host the MIXology Station. Every hour we’ll feature a different Portland bartender pouring a new signature cocktail showcasing Aviation Gin, Jack Daniels, Finlandia Vodka, and Herradura Tequila. Each of our bartenders will direct a group of amateur mixologists from the crowd through the mixing of their signature cocktail. Exciting experiential auction packages!
Live Music! And more to come.
