The ever popular Bracelet Night returns! 

On Friday Night, October 6th only, from 6pm-10pm, a purchase of a bracelet entitles you to unlimited rides in the park!

Linger

Saturday, October 7, 2023

8:00 PM  9:30 PM

Based in Denver, Colorado, Linger is the only tribute band to The Cranberries music in all the United States. Their most important hook as a tribute for The Cranberries, is the original voice of our lead singer Mary Kate, (they will never find someone who sings like Dolores O’Riordan). Mary Kate does not try to imitate how Dolores used to sing. She naturally sings similar. Additionally, her passion for The Cranberries music truly captivates the audience along with the band’s energy!

Dean Ford and the Beautiful Ones

Sunday, October 8, 2023

7:30 PM  9:00 PM

Dean Ford & The Beautiful Ones is “The Ultimate Tribute 2 Prince.” Dressed 2 the 9's, Dean Ford embodies Prince with every fiber of his being, giving the audience a show as close as you will ever get to the real thing. Ford and company perform all the hits, including the “Purple Rain” album in its entirety. But, it's more than just the songs. He's got the look, the moves, and the sounds down jaw-droppingly well. So well, you'll forget it's only a tribute.
