Fellow Drammers!
Our 2026 gathering of the members — “The Drammening” — is here! It will take place Thursday, Feb. 26th through Sunday, March 1st.
This is the All Access Pass for the event, which includes a Drammening Tshirt and admits 1 person to each of the 10 ticketed events currently scheduled. (There is a “closing dinner” on Sunday March 1st at 6pm that is NOT a ticketed event and everyone will just order dinner on their own, which is not included in the All Access Pass).
Please note: For all passes ordered before February 10th, your preferred tshirt size will be waiting for you to pick up at the festival. If you order your pass after February 10th, we cannot promise we can get your preferred tshirt size there in time and may have to get it to you after the event.
All events at the Drammening are $20 for Members and $35 for non-members, or you can get an “All Access” pass (which includes a Drammening tshirt) that is $120 for Members and $150 for Non-Members. For those coming in from out of town, the closest casinos are Gold Coast, Orleans, The Palms etc., which are less expensive than the ones on the Strip. There is always a chance the schedule of events will change, though it is unlikely at this point. Currently the schedule of events is as follows:
