Here’s what you’re walking into:

  • 🌊 DJ Poolside spinning under the moon for beach dance sets

  • 🌈 Face painting for the festival flower child in you – leave a cash tip

  • 🌴 Stilt walkers bringing that festival freaky-deaky height delight

  • 🏄‍♀️ Mechanical surfboard — high skill and fun, now Way more skirt friendly – try not to wipe out during this challenge.

  • 🎸 Captain Eric & the Shipwrecks rockin’ the inside stage again bringing the energy we love alongside the Long Bar.

    • Mini-Games with the shot girl, are you safe for the push up competition this time?

  • ☀️ $5 Sun Cruisers at the bar

  • 🫖 $4 Green Tea shots at the bar

  • 🌭 $3 Hot Dogs at the host stand

     

              🎟 Pro FLoatSHELLa Tips:

    • Dress the part: Body glitter, bold prints, floaty vibes, and festival fits — whatever you’ve been saving for “the right time.” This is it babe.

    • Bring a bathing suit: Yup, the good old days when you could play around in a night pool party has returned for one night –the pool is open to party people.

    • Towel + change of clothes = smart moves for the ride home. You can always buy a Sea Shell Tee oversized for the memory. 

    • Bring cash: It’s fast, it’s easy, and it buys you hot dog happiness.

    • Prepare to limbo and beach boogie your way into the weekend with your crew and a cold drink under the moonlight.

      • Skip the line with your Sea Shell VIP Pass, or arrive early (doors open at 8PM) to dodge the cover charge ($20). It’s a covered event, so rain or shine, the vibes are locked in. 

FloatSHELLa isn’t just a party — it’s the moment of the summer.

Let’s be real – you’ve ALL asked “Can I jump in the pool or will I get kicked out,”
and the answer has always been a Double Yes. Here is your chance.
Dancing under the moonlight, or just soaking it all in with a drink in hand, this is one night you’ll be talking about until Labor Day of 2035 (at least).

See you on the dance floor. See you in the pool. See you at The Shell. 🌕
