All Event and "Bar Night" Organizers Only!!

[Zoologico]

Need some help! I own a bar and am interested in doing a mid-week event such as this. Problem: Don't know a dang thing about it. If possible, I would like to learn from others who have been there, done it, to minimize my mistakes. Looking for the "package deal" if that type thing exists. Any suggestions on best equipment, set-up, etc., would be greatly apprieciated!

Thanks to the forum and to anyone who responds!

The first thing you should do is read through this thread. There is a lot of good information, in fact about 75% through it, a member aggregates it all into one post which would serve as the summary, but not the whole picture.

Where are you located?
Have you tried looking for who else is doing this in your area?
If you attend an event, it will help you get acquainted with how they can be run. However, I would say not to set these examples in stone as you will want to customize the event to your liking or more importantly to what you think your patrons will like.

Good luck.
