Seattle Yacht Rock Party!




To celebrate opening night of Make Believe Seattle, enjoy a Yacht Rock Party at Erikson Theater in Seattle! Indulge in smooth tunes, tropical cocktails, and endless shrimp as the Make Believe Seattle team transport you back to the golden era of yacht rock. Tito's Handmade Vodka will have a "Build Your Own Ascot" station on-hand, as DJ Trent Von drops the beats. Expect to enjoy a lot of Loggins and Messina, Hall and Oates and Eagles.

"Wear your best yacht rock-inspired attire and prepare to be transported to a time when shirts barely buttoned, wind always blew through your hair, and cocaine fell from the sky like rain."
