  1. Do we need to bring lawn chairs for this event? Is it located near Jambox? We’ve never been to Epic Central before and are unsure what to expect as far as location, seating, etc etc. Thanks so much!!!

    1. Yes, lawn chairs are recommended. They do provide a little bit of seating, but you’ll be better off bringing your own. EpicCentral is located off State Highway 161 just north of Interstate 20. You can park near Epic Waters off Arkansas Lane or in the parking lot next to the restaurant and hotels off the southbound access road to Highway 161. The event will take place on the opposite side of the main lake, adjacent to the Jambox stage.

        1. Unfortunately, it looks like the VIP tickets are sold out! We’re expecting a great crowd, but I’m sure there will still be plenty of great barbecue to fill your tray. Look forward to seeing you there!
