Dad's Garage is shaking things up this year and rolling out a brand-new concept for its annual fundraiser: The Dad's Garage Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival! After 15 years of "BaconFest," they've decided to move towards an event that is more environmentally sustainable, more affordable for the patrons, and that lets them focus on doing what they do best: providing a one-of-a-kind festival experience where patrons interact directly with improvisers in booths and games.

Dad's Garage Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival is one part festival, one part theatrical weirdness you'll only find at Dad's Garage. In addition to plenty of beer, rides, and delicious food, our improvisers will be manning booths like "Hobo Wine Tasting," "Wheelchair Obstacle Course," "Bad Caricatures," and the always-popular "Flip Cup Tournament."

This event is a fundraiser for Dad's Garage Theatre, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We produce over 300 scripted and improv comedy shows every year, and our annual fundraiser helps support our bottom line so we can keep the lights on and the laughter flowing. The fun and magic of improv comedy steps off the stage and into our festival, and guests of the Dad's Garage Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival will get the chance to experience our brand of comedy in a completely new way.

All attendees must be 21+ and IDs will be checked at the gate.
Tickets start at $10.
Saturday, April 6, from 1-6 p.m.
Dad's Garage, 569 Ezzard Street SE, Atlanta, GA 30312

This event is wheelchair accessible. For more information on accessibility, please email andrew@dadsgarage.com
