Hey, never been to this event. What's it like? Are there Bleachers or should we bring chairs? Also, what about bringing in food and drinks? My fiance and I will be there tomorrow just tryin to get a feel for it.

Bring chairs and some shade! You can bring food and drinks but sometimes they check for alcohol and sometimes they don't. There are no bleachers.

there are 4 canopys there so shade is not a problem
