Tunnel Of Terror - Haunted Car Wash at all Tommy’s Express locations

Friday-Monday 6pm - 10pm

Cost is $25/car, or free if you are a member.

Pro tip- if you’ve never been a member before you can download the Tommy’s Express app and get a free month (which gets you in to this event for free!)

This is a bit of self-promotion, but we put a ton of effort into making this an awesome event, and I want everyone to be able to experience it.

You also get the best wash we offer as part of the experience (common question I get asked).

Hope to see y’all this weekend!

HarvestFest @ Lewis Ginter - Saturday 10am - 8pm - garden admission $17

GWAR @ The National - Sunday 7pm - $40 (after AXS fees)

Blood. Spectacle. Lifestyle. Mythology. Costumes. And more blood.

When you think of beloved shock-metal outfit GWAR, those words are likely the first that come to mind. And with good reason. Since forming in Richmond, Virginia in 1984, GWAR have not only managed to endure through various lineup changes, but have become one of the most beloved bands in all of metal. The only thing as sharp as their over-the-top lyrics is their mesmerizing live show which continues to make them one of the must-see, and most memorable, acts today.

At a time when bands have become bland, GWAR stand out for their performances and the intimate connection with their fans. Once the lights dim and the curtain rises, fans know what they’re in for: a night of theatrics, storytelling and humor that’s more Devo than KISS. Their iconic, signature barbaric interplanetary warriors costumes may be what the wider world knows them for, but it’s their shows that continues to resonate with their devoted following.

And outside of the beautiful/crowded paths to and through the Japanese Gardens, there are places to sit by a fire and just hang out, or eat something from the food trucks (meat and vegetarian options) or have cocoa or make s’mores (everything purchased on site) or pop smoke-filled bubbles from the machine or beat out rhythms in the light-changing drums
