🐄 The Milk District’s Mooo-velous Milky Way — Bar & Bites Crawl 🐄

Holy cow… we’re doing it again 🥛

Join us for a moo-tastic weekend crawl through The Milk District as we celebrate our creamy, dreamy namesake and the community built around it.

This Milky Way is a little extra special — it’s happening alongside the Milk Run Community 5K, sponsored by T.G. Lee Dairy, touring the district on Saturday!

🥛 How It Works:

🎟️ Your wristband unlocks exclusive specials, themed bites, drinks, and activations at participating Milk District businesses.

If you’re registered for the Milk Run — you’re already in!
✔️ Your wristband comes with your race packet - you can use it starting Friday night at 6pm!

Not doing the Milk Run? (but seriously… why not?)
✔️ You can still grab a wristband and join the fun - follow the prompts here to reserve your wristband

✨ Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure — pop into your favorites, try somewhere new, and stay awhile.

🗓️ When to Crawl:

FRIDAY, May 1 (Kickoff Night)
🕕 Wristband Pickup begins at 6:00 PM
📍 Twelve Talons Brewery (2807 E. South Street — parking available!)

Grab your wristband, snag some swag, enjoy a kickoff drink, then go explore!
Specials run until 10:00 PM (or later, depending on the business)
⚠️ Be sure to pick up your wristband before 8:30 PM

🌟 The MILKY WAY Continues:

Your wristband is valid FRIDAY night and SATURDAY 🐄

With the Milk Run happening Saturday morning, your wristband keeps the party going afterwards...

Friday night (kickoff)
Saturday (post-race parties, brunch options and all day exploration)

🥞 Just ran? Time to refuel.
🍻 Ready to celebrate? We’ve got you.
🧀 Want to graze and explore? Perfect.
