We’re Popping Up – Again! Collingswood’s evening of elegant and mysterious dinner and dancing is back for the second year.
The Pop Up Gala will take place on September 6, 2014! Our second annual ‘pop up’ dinner party will bring together people from all over the community for a night of cultural enjoyment and enhance the use of a secret, yet ordinary public space just for one night, leaving no trace behind.
Participants register to attend on the scheduled date and time but don’t know the location when they purchase tickets. Just before 7 p.m. on the night of the event, guests are led by organizers to a top secret spot and hundreds of diners converge to enjoy to a giant, elegant, pop-up dinner with music and festivities! Guests wear all white and bring all their items – tables, chairs, flatware, food and drink – and leave with it all at the end of the night.
TICKET PRICING:
$40 PER PAIR before August 18.
$50 PER PAIR August 18 through September 5.
Tickets are only sold in pairs
Online registration is offered as a convenience to participants – there is an additional charge to cover processing through Tickeleap.
Tickets can also be purchased in person at Main Street Realty (730 Haddon Ave, Collingswood, NJ. (856) 858-2200) starting July 15.
Team Leaders will provide wristbands to guests that purchased tickets online upon check-in at meetup site on Sept 6. You must bring your Ticketleap receipt on the night of the event to claim your wristbands. Your Team Leader will then provide you your wristbands for the event.

How a super-secret Pop Up Gala works...
1. You will receive an introductory email from your team leader approximately 3 days before the Pop Up Gala. Then, on Saturday, you will be notified approximately six hours before the event and given a location to meet your Team Leader and a group of your fellow Pop Up attendees between 6:15 and 6:30 in the evening. Your Team Leader will then receive a text promptly at 6:30 to proceed to the event site. You will walk through Collingswood as a group bringing everything you need with you for a fabulous dinner party.
2. You must come with a date, significant other, old friend or new friend. Only pairs of tickets will be sold and you must wear your white wrist band given to you at time of purchase.
3. You must wear all white. Creative elegance is encouraged.
4. You must bring your own small folding table for 2 (roughly between 28”x28” and 32”x32”), 2 chairs, a white tablecloth, non-disposable china and flatware, and a candlelit (faux candlelight encouraged) centerpiece. Creative elegance is encouraged.
5. You must bring food for 2 and, if desired, bottles of your favorite champagne or wine and your own non-disposable wine glasses.
6. You might want to consider adding to your picnic basket, bug spray and towelettes/wipes.
7. You must be able to walk with your Pop Up accoutrements six to eight blocks to the event. You will be given instructions to meet up with your Team Leader on the evening of the event at a location to be determined. Please be there on time. Teams will be leaving for the secret location at 6:30. Handicapped accommodations can be made upon request. Please make a note of that when registering.
8. You will thoroughly enjoy yourself, dining and dancing under the stars, making new friends and dancing the night away. You must clean up all traces of your dinner (please bring your own trash bag).
9. This is a rain or shine event (although postponement may occur in the case of very inclement weather).
10. The online registration form asks you to select a Team Leader or indicate no preference. if you do not yet know your prefered Team Leader or wish to make a change at some point (no later than one-week before the Gala), you can do so by emailing [email protected]. No preference is needed! Most guests will be assigned to a random leader and a group of new friends.
