Here’s What You Missed at Trace

Miss a night at Trace? Ouch. That’s on you. From rowdy watch parties that shook Wrigleyville, to holiday chaos with Dirty Santa, to tarot readings and tattoos on Friday the 13th, our events have been equal parts legendary and questionable-life-choice inducing.

This is where we stash all the proof—photos, highlights, and the kind of wild stories you’ll wish you were part of. Think Christmas in July with shot glasses instead of stockings, Riot Fest trivia nights that handed out actual festival tickets, and Clemson Tigers gamedays that felt like Death Valley North.

Scroll through, feel the FOMO, and maybe next time you’ll make the smart move and show up. After all, Trace parties don’t repeat—they just get weirder.
