Looking for another opportunity to celebrate after the eclipse?

Whether your brackets were busted or you won big, join us for a post-tourney celebration at our 10th Annual March GRADness event.


We'll have all the same games, food, and good times you've come to expect from our annual event, but none of the bracket stress! 


Frequently asked questions!

  • What if I can only stay for a short time? Then this is the event for you! Feel free to come and go as you like. Come early; come late; come in-between time; stay awhile, leave and come back. It's totally up to you and your schedule. Anytime between 4:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Just join us!


  • Is there a formal program? No way! We know how much people just want to relax and have fun!


  • What's the dress code? Come as you please! You can come in business attire, sports attire, jeans, jogging suits, t-shirts, or your favorite college gear.


  • What can I expect at March GRADness? Delicious food stations, games & activities with prizes (Kahoot, Family Feud, and more), raffles, door prizes, & great fun! You can choose to be a fan, player, coach, referee, cheerleader, or just pull up a seat and be a spectator!
