TL;DRFive parties run every week (LIT, Snowfall, Illumination, Beach Blast and the World Famous Foam Party). The rest do not: St. Patty-Gras is only week 3, Pardi-Gras at Fred's is only week 2, Neon Honky Tonk is weeks 2 and 3, and Glow Rave and Bass & Boots are weeks 3 and 4. The PCB Club Card is sold by week, so pick the week with your must-have.

The usual advice is to pick a week and then see what is happening. If you already know the party you want, flip it around.

Which parties run every week?

Five. Each shows up in all four weeks, so they will not decide your week:

LIT: Ultra Glow Party: Sun Feb 28, then Saturdays Mar 6, 13, 20
Snowfall: Tue Mar 2, live Wed Mar 10, live Mon Mar 15, Mon Mar 22
Illumination: Fri Mar 5, 12, 19 and Tue Mar 23
Beach Blast: Wednesdays Mar 3, 10, 17, 24, 1 to 5 PM
World Famous Foam Party: Thu Mar 4, 11, 18 and Wed Mar 24

What does that mean week by week?

Counting the foam parties, our schedule has this many parties per week:

Week 1, Feb 27 to Mar 5: 5 parties. The five that run every week, and nothing else.
Week 2, Mar 6 to 12: 8 parties. Adds the Aqua Wet 'n Wild foam party, Pardi-Gras at Fred's and Neon Honky Tonk.
Week 3, Mar 13 to 19: 11 parties. The biggest week. Adds the Aqua Wet 'n Wild foam party, Glow Rave, Pardi-Gras at Frog's, St. Patty-Gras, Bass & Boots and Neon Honky Tonk.
Week 4, Mar 20 to 26: 9 parties. Adds the Aqua Wet 'n Wild foam party, Glow Rave, Bass & Boots and the last Pardi-Gras on Mar 26.

What if you want one specific party?

St. Patty-Gras: week 3. Read the March 17 plan.
Pardi-Gras at Fred's: week 2 only.
Country nights: weeks 2 and 3 for Neon Honky Tonk, weeks 3 and 4 for Bass & Boots. See country nights at PCB.
A rave: Glow Rave in weeks 3 or 4.
Foam: the World Famous Foam Party runs in all four weeks; Aqua Wet 'n Wild runs Sundays in weeks 2, 3 and 4. See foam party dates.
The season closer: week 4, with Pardi-Gras at Frog's on Fri Mar 26.

What if you want two special parties?

Week 3 has the most overlap: Neon Honky Tonk, St. Patty-Gras, Bass & Boots, Glow Rave and Pardi-Gras at Frog's are all there. That makes it the best week for a variety, and the busiest one to pace. See how to pace a week of PCB nights.

Where can you see the full calendar?

On PCB's events page. For trip planning, DoItForBreak has a theme party calendar. Once you pick a week, reserve your stay for that week.

What if your group disagrees?

Use a simple score. Each person lists their top two parties. Count which week covers the most of them. If it is a tie, pick the week with more total parties, like week 3 (11 parties). Then send the result to the group chat and move on. The week pages show every night if you want to double-check.
