Kommen Sie zu unserer offiziellen I-24-Eröffnungsparty! Vor der Kulisse der Space Needle ist MoPOP ein hochmodernes Museum, das vom international renommierten Architekten Frank O. Gehry entworfen wurde. MoPOPs Mission ist es, kreativen Ausdruck zu einer lebensverändernden Kraft zu machen, indem es Erfahrungen bietet, die unsere Gemeinschaften inspirieren und verbinden. Genießen Sie dieses exklusive Erlebnis, während Sie durch eine aufregende Sammlung von Ausstellungen, reichhaltige Popkulturinhalte, beispiellose Technologie und eine Vielzahl einzigartiger Räume schlendern! Heben Sie ab in der Sky Church, benannt nach einem Konzept von Jimi Hendrix, das einen Ort vorsieht, an dem Menschen aller Hintergründe und Glaubensrichtungen durch die Kraft der Musik zusammenkommen können, und genießen Sie typisches Seattle-Essen und Beats!

Treffen Sie sich ab 18:30 Uhr in der Lobby. Die Busse fahren in einer Endlosschleife. Nach der Veranstaltung halten Busse sowohl an der Queen Anne Beer Hall (After-Party) als auch am Hotel.
