Every Thursday

Introducing Community THURSDAZE

A weekly, open-format series built by and for the community, hosted at Durty Nellie’s a massive venue with four unique spaces, room for 30+ vendors, a rooftop patio, and space for 500+ people to vibe, move, and connect.

We’re picking our lineups weekly from community submissions - giving local DJs, visual artists, performers, and makers the stage they deserve. Shows are affordable, vendor spots are accessible, and the atmosphere is built on creativity, not competition.

FREE UNTIL 8PM!

This is your space.

Bring your skills, your passion, your weird, your wonder.

Let’s build something unforgettable — together.

Micro Wrestling Federation

Wednesday July 30th

The Micro Wrestling Federation is a full-scale, WWE type event supported by an entire cast under five feet tall. It’s going to be pandemonium as the Micro Wrestlers body slam, bear hug, and headlock throughout an evening of nonstop action. Here is what you can expect: Two Single Matches: Who are the toughest Micro Wrestlers? Come find out! Micro Brawl: Body slams, suplexes, and punches to the face can take place anywhere in the venue! Get ready for up-close and personal Micro action! Micro Rumble: The Micro superstars enter the squared circle and stand tiny toe-to-tiny toe against one another in the main event! The belt is on the line and only one Micro wrestler will leave as champion.
