Reserve Your Lanyard & Save Time!

To ensure the best possible experience for you and/or your group, you can purchase your lanyard online instead of chancing availability by waiting for the day of the event - purchasing pre-sale is the only way to 100% guarantee your participation!

ALL COCKTAIL TRAIL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE PRESENT WITH A VALID 21+ ID FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PERSON TO PICK-UP PRE-PAID LANYARDS
