Saturday Night Afterglow & Late-Night Singing Venue!
We are thrilled to bring everyone together for an unforgettable convention weekend! One of the best parts of any barbershop gathering is ringing chords late into the night, and this year we’re doing something special to bring the whole district together under one roof.
Our Late-Night Singing Hub: Minglewood Distilling Co. & The Ice Plant
Instead of scattered singing across separate hotel rooms and floors, we’ve rented out Minglewood Distilling Co. & The Ice Plant from 8:30 PM to 1:00 AM! This gives our entire district family one dedicated, vibrant space to hang out, socialize, and sing our hearts out together until the early morning hours.
