The North Coast weekend is almost here, but why wait for the gates to open to start the party? On Friday, August 23 from 3 PM to 7 PM, we’re taking over Amber Agave (1310 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL) A North Coast Festival Pre-Party like no other—where the drinks are bubbly, the beats are fresh, and the vibe only gets better as the day goes on.

Kick things off with a chill hangout, sip on custom North Coast–themed novelty boba drinks, and catch up with friends. As the sun dips, expect the energy to rise—because DJ Virgil (Chicago’s own open-format master), DJ Charlieboy (the ultimate party starter), and DJ Raatkirani (bringing a vibrant, genre-bending mix) will be spinning tracks that will have you dancing long before the festival even starts.
And here’s the kicker—show up and you could WIN NCMF PASSES. Yep, this party isn’t just about getting hyped for the Coast, it’s your chance to score your way in.
Entry is FREE with RSVP, so bring your crew and your best pre-festival energy. Street and metered parking are available, but we’re also easy to reach by public transit—so no excuses.
Come for the boba. Stay for the beats. Leave ready for the Coast.
RSVP now and lock in your spot—this is where the festival weekend truly begins.
