This is going to be a high energy, fun-filled show to kick-off the event! Wait… he was proud to wear them! He once owned these gorgeous costumes. I suspect Rus Anderson’s performance will blow me away! He performs as a young Elton John in a fun tribute show with lots of energy and costumes that Elton John would be proud to wear. I am so excited about this show! We’ve had several tribute acts at the Nugget over the last year and they are some of the most talented musicians I’ve seen. Wednesday, August 31 – The Rocket Man Show – Elton John Tribute
MAD EVENT MANAGEMENT FREE
All shows are free and there is a fun festival vibe to be enjoyed while eating as many ribs as your heart desires. We booked different types of acts so there is something for everyone. This year’s main stage lineup features artists from many different genres. Feeling like a bit of an overachiever right now! Usually we aren’t able to announce the entertainment lineup until late July, so I was very excited to announce the entertainment on the last day of May. Yesterday, it was my pleasure to visit local radio stations with my coworkers and announce the main stage entertainment lineup for the 28 th annual Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off. Everyone is encouraged to dress up in Halloween costumes for a chance to win the best prize ever – cash!!!
This isn’t a typical beer festival because the brewers are responsible for the ambiance as they get into the Halloween spirit and decorate their booths to compete for best decorated brewery booth. We are looking forward to the Fall Hornin’ Pumpkin Ale, Pumpkin Falls, Autumn Ale, Punk’In Drublic Imperial Pumpkin Ale as well as more than two dozen IPAs that will be available. This event is a beer enthusiasts dream! Brewers feature a lot of seasonal fall and winter ales that you can’t find every day at the grocery store, making this an even more unique experience. $30 for all-you-can-responsibly-drink! How are we not sold out already!?!
We dropped the price to $30 per ticket, so this is a really affordable option.
This year my goal is to sell 1,000 tickets. Last year approximately 800 attended the event. It is the greatest disco experience you can have this side of the 70s and a show not to be missed! The Boogie Knights show is complete with choreography, polyester, afros and bell bottoms. All of this makes them the perfect band for Nugget Brews & Boos. They have a worldwide following, are featured on MTV programs and at major sporting events. Almost overnight, the band became a big hit across the nation. The band first started back in 1992 as a Halloween gag in Los Angeles. It is a rocking concert! This year we are featuring the funky sounds of Boogie Knights, the renowned disco revival band.
So we designed Brews & Boos to be a very fun and very laid back type of Halloween party where customers can enjoy tastings by going table-to-table trick-or-treating brewer-to-brewer.īrews & Boos is more than a beer tasting event. Our patrons wanted to go somewhere fun, but not too crazy. We realized that a lot of people would like to hire a babysitter and then go out to enjoy a night on the town tasting delicious beers while being entertained by a live band. We designed this event as a counter offer to all the crazy scary and scandalous options for Halloween fun you can find in Reno. Brews & Boos offers more than fifty types of brews and live entertainment by the world-famous Boogie Knights disco revival band. We are getting excited for the 2 nd annual beer tasting and Halloween extravaganza! The event takes place this year on Saturday, Octoin the Nugget Ballroom. I’ve been working very hard on this event over the last few months. Brews & Boos Beer Fest & Costume Party returns to the Nugget next week.
