5. There Are A Few Parties…
If you’ve been to any of our shows, then you know that BTC loves to host a party! Why? Because we want to celebrate YOU. We know you’ve seen our annual pool party on Instagram, so be ready for more sippin’ and splashin’ poolside with your favorite social influencers. Fun Fact: The BTC fam blew up over 1,000 pool floaties last year!
And then there’s the annual Monday night party that always has a pretty rad theme (last year’s pajama party was LIT) and this year’s going to be even better. Oh, and #ONESHOT, aka the industry’s biggest hair party of the year is happening at the show! So, basically…get ready to dance and make some major memories with the show community. See some throwback videos from last year below!
Now, THAT’S a pool party (yes, there was a mermaid!).
