Bringing the spirit of the 90s back to the First Coast, Ancient City Entertainment is hosting their inaugural As If! The 90’s Fest at Francis Field in downtown St. Augustine on Saturday, May 15th.
This action-packed festival will bring back some of the 90s favorite musical performers, such as Coolio and Ken and Drew from Sister Hazel, as well as treat guests to an entire day and night of fun activities. Along with the two headliners, the festival will host additional musical guests such as Spider Monkey, Ramona + the RIOT, Chillula, and more.
“We have had great community feedback so far,” said Jeanetta Salyer, owner of Ancient City Entertainment and organizer of the festival. “It has been pretty exciting!”
For the first time ever, Francis Field will have a 27-foot water slide for guests to cool off and take a spin. The one-day event will also feature a 90s tribute slime zone, photo booth, adult capri-suns, and a plethora of other games.
There are over 40 sponsors for the event, such as 904 Happy Hour and iHeartRadio, and a portion of the proceeds of the event go directly towards Ancient City Entertainment’s non-profit, the ACE Alliance. ACE Alliance provides artists and industry members disaster relief and wellness impact in cases of emergencies.
Guests can also purchase VIP tickets, which include unlimited access on the waterslide, an afterparty ticket, and an opportunity to meet both event’s headliners. Or, guests can purchase additional individual tickets to meet the performers. Coolio’s meet and greet will take place at the official As If! The 90s Fest afterparty at Prohibition Kitchen from 10p.m. – 1a.m. To meet Ken and Drew from Sister Hazel, guests can purchase a ticket to Sister Hazel Booze Cruise, where they will spend the following afternoon aboard a Sarbrage Charter’s catamaran and experience an acoustic performance.
Tickets for the event are $15 and can be purchased at asifthe90sfest.com.
