Enjoy wines made across our great state, compliments of Missouri Wines, and beer brewed in St. Louis from our friends at Schlafly. Happy buskers will fill the room with merriment.

For our opening night, we kick it up a notch with a masquerade gala at the Missouri Theatre right before Best of Enemies. Don your black tie, little black dress, or whatever makes you feel fashion forward, and of course don’t forget your mask. Stop by each of the cocktail stations scattered throughout the theater, each featuring a handcrafted libation created by one of Columbia’s finest bartenders. The Jubilee has become one of T/F’s most beloved celebrations, and to help accommodate the masses, our friends at Columbia Art League open their doors to let the party spill over into their gallery space, giving patrons a chance to view their latest exhibit, Everything Is a Remix. You’ll also enjoy delightful bites from celebrated chef Brook Harlan and his students from the Columbia Area Career Center’s culinary school. No ticket required; open to Super Circle, Silver Circle, and Lux passholders.
