Saturday and Sunday they are offering wristbands for $25 per person. 💵

Looks like Mother Nature is making up for lost precipitation with a good chance of rain every day this week being forecasted. ☁️

So, if you’re looking to add something fun to your itinerary this week, we do have tickets available for Tuesday’s Signature Food Tour (Thursday is sold out). Hey, let’s dodge puddles together! 💦
