On-site experiences and features are included with select ticket tiers.

Discovery Hall
Open throughout the day. Walk the hall, meet the brands changing how people drink, and taste a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages—including beer, wine and spirits. This is where you can compare products side by side, ask questions, discover new favorites and see just how much the category has grown.

Mixology Studio
Live sessions throughout the day. Pull up a seat as bartenders and beverage experts make non-alcoholic cocktails in real time. You’ll taste what they create while learning about ingredients, techniques, flavor and what makes a great drink work without alcohol. Expect practical ideas you can actually use at home.

NA Beverage Garden
Open throughout the day. This is Drywave’s place to grab a drink, sit down and experience what alcohol-free socializing actually feels like. Sample non-alcoholic beers, wines, spirits and ready-to-drink options, then stay for the conversation. The point isn’t just to taste alternatives—it’s to experience the social side of drinking without the alcohol.

Brunch Reimagined
Ease into the morning with a drink in hand. Sample non-alcoholic mimosas, Bloody Marys, sparkling wines, fresh juices and other morning-friendly pours. Explore fresh takes on familiar brunch favorites and discover just how good brunch drinking can be—without the alcohol.

Day Drinking, Rewritten
A one-hour social experience built around everything people love about day drinking—without alcohol at the center of it. Grab a drink, meet someone new or spend time with friends while exploring a curated mix of non-alcoholic cocktails, wines, beers, spirits and other pours.
Less formal tasting, more social occasion. Come experience what day drinking can look like when alcohol is optional.

Refreshment Bar
Available throughout the day. Not everything at Drywave is trying to replace alcohol. Stop here for electrolyte drinks, functional beverages, infused waters and other hydration and wellness-focused options. Taste what’s out there, recharge between sessions and explore the growing category of drinks designed around how you want to feel rather than what you’re giving up.
