Mutzfest Sunday: Everything you need to know

Uncategorized

Mutzfest takes place, Sunday, January 29th, from 2 to 6 pm at the Hoboken Elks Club, 1005 Washington Street.

We know it can be a wait to get into the Elks so this year, thanks to Subaru, we are providing The Subaru Welcome & Warming Tent. Inside you will be able to check in, enjoy some coffee and cocoa by bwe to-go, the sounds of Fresh 102.7, and check out the all-new Impreza. All guests must check in at the tent’s Entrance Area, located at the north side of the tent at 1033 Washington St.

Here are a few reminders to make the day a more enjoyable experience:

  1. As an online ticket buyer your name will be on the Guest List at the door regardless of your ticket type. Please have your online purchase confirmation available. All tickets will be under the BUYER’S NAME so please inform your guests if they are arriving separately.
