Love a good tailgate? Then make plans to attend the world’s largest. Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate Presented by SpotOn is claiming it’s just that. The free, all-ages event is going down Feb. 8, 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m., at Cow Palace Arena & Event Center in the Bay Area, California.
As you would expect from an event from Guy Fieri, the focus is heavily on food, with offerings available from local restaurants, as well as Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives favorites. Plus, partner brands (like Velveeta, Sabra, Hellmann’s and King’s Hawaiian) offer free food and drinks, too, alongside activations throughout the day. And when you’re not chowing down, you can enjoy games (it is a tailgate, after all) and live music from Tucker Wetmore and Loud Luxury.
This is the event’s fourth year and, in the past, it’s attracted more than 10,000 fans. While the event is free, you do still want to register to attend ahead of time, and even then, registering doesn’t guarantee you a ticket. Instead, if you make the cut, you’ll receive an email with attendance confirmation by Feb. 5.
If you want guaranteed access, as well as priority entry, you may want to upgrade to a $54.99 ticket that also includes tasting experiences from Guy Fieri restaurant concepts.
