Fun Fun Fun Fest Moves to Auditorium Shores

Fun Fun Fun Fest is moving from its Waterloo Park locale to Auditorium Shores in order to accommodate a larger crowd. Expect a sweaty, tighty-whitey clad Monotonix member to perform piggyback style atop the SRV statue.

The fest is scheduled for November 5th and 6th with tickets going on sale in late May.
