9parks in nine cities
36flavors, nine of them city only
$0at the gate, every stop
Shot in one park, in one afternoon, before a single person arrived.
No crowd, no crane, no drone. Everything you see is what gets loaded off the truck.
Sound on is better. The whole thing is ice, grass and a screen door.
Pick a park and we will tell you everything
Nine Saturdays, nine parks, always free. An RSVP holds your blanket space until two o'clock, then the lawn goes first come. Capacity is the real number the park gives us, not a marketing one.

Good to know
Added three weeks ago because the California waitlist reached four thousand, and it closes the tour.
Nine Saturdays left.
Then it is jackets, and everybody pretends they meant to stay inside. We would rather spend the whole run of good weather on a lawn with four hundred pounds of ice and a rope for tug of war.
Aug 15 to Oct 10
Nine parks, nine cities
Free at the gate
A Saturday, hour by hour
One tent, one long trough of ice, a record crate nobody is allowed to argue with, and nine hours of doing very little on purpose. This is the run of show at every stop, give or take the heat.
11:00
The tent goes up
Two poles, one crank, ninety seconds. The shade underneath is claimed within five minutes and defended for the rest of the day. Check in at the gate, take a field card and a tote, find your patch.
12:30
The trough gets filled
Four hundred pounds of ice and every flavor we brought, including the one poured in this park and nowhere else on the tour. Six taps, so the line never runs past four people.
2:00
Games, and they get competitive
Sack race, ring toss, and a tug of war that starts as a joke and stops being one somewhere around the third round. Kids run the two o'clock heat and win most of it.
5:00
Sunday Signal plays
Two DJs, one crate, a set built for lying down rather than standing up. It runs until the light drops behind whatever the treeline happens to be in your city.
6:30
The print table opens
Bring the tote you were handed at the gate, pick an ink colour, and watch it get pulled. Your city and the date, printed on the day, which is why no two stops carry the same one.
8:00
We fold up and go
Every can collected, every stake pulled, the lawn left flatter and cleaner than we found it. Park staff sign off before the truck moves, at all nine stops.
What is in the trough
Three flavors travel the whole tour. The fourth is brewed for one park, poured on one Saturday, and then never made again. All of it cold, all of it free, all of it out of a can you can take with you.
Lime Verbena
Green tea, pressed lime, a handful of verbena. The one everybody starts with because it is the one that tastes like eleven in the morning.
Pours at all nine stops
Grapefruit Basil
Ruby grapefruit with basil steeped cold for nine hours. Bitter enough to hold up at four o'clock when everything else feels sweet.
Pours at all nine stops
Peach Chamomile
Yellow peach and chamomile, the softest thing we make. Best after five, when the set starts and nobody is standing up any more.
Pours at all nine stops
The city pour
One flavor per park, made from whatever is good there that week. Sour cherry and shiso in Brooklyn. Muscadine in Durham. Meyer lemon and bay to close it out in Los Angeles.
One park only, never repeated
35calories a can, every flavor
0 mgcaffeine. It is a lawn, not a desk
Canesugar only, never syrup
100%of cans recycled on site
How the site is laid out
Nine different parks, one plan. Flat ground from the gate to the tent, and everything within about ninety seconds of everything else.
The gate
One entrance per site, marked with the green flag. Check in takes about four seconds and you leave it holding a tote, a cup and a field card.
The tent
Centre of the site, the tallest thing on the lawn. Shade for roughly eighty people at a time and the whole rain plan if the weather turns.
The trough
Twenty feet of ice on the tent's east side, six taps, staffed all day. Refilled at two and again at five thirty.
Water
Two free stations, three in Austin. Bottle fillers and a low spout for dogs at both.
The quiet corner
A roped patch behind the tent, furthest point from the speakers, kept clear on purpose. Nobody has to ask to use it.
Save your spot on the grass
Tell us which park and we will hold blanket space until two o'clock. Sold out cities put you on the waitlist in the order you joined.
- One email the Tuesday before, with the gate, the parking and the forecast
- One text the morning of, only if the weather moves us
- Nothing else, and one tap to release a spot you cannot use
Before you come
How do I find you in the park?
Look for the green tent, the tallest thing on the lawn. Every stop is a ten minute walk or less from transit, and the exact gate goes out the Tuesday before with a photo of it.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain and we go ahead: the tent covers about eighty people and the trough does not mind. If the forecast turns properly bad we move to the Sunday, and you hear by eight on Friday.
Is there an age policy?
All ages, all day, at every stop. Nothing we pour contains alcohol and the permits are dry. Strollers are fine and the two o'clock games are built for kids to win.
How accessible is the site?
Flat ground and a paved route from the gate to the tent, the trough, the food and the restrooms, with two accessible units per site. Ask in the RSVP notes and we hold a firm surface spot near the front.
It is free, so what is the RSVP for?
Ice and blankets. The count tells us how much of both to order and keeps the park inside its permit. Your spot is held until two o'clock, then the lawn goes first come.
