What to wear to every PCB party.
Twelve parties, twelve dress codes. One page to screenshot.
18+ to enter / 21+ to drink, valid photo ID required
PCB's party pages give you a one-line vibe and not much else. This is the practical version. The dress tips are our own advice, based on what each party is. The dates and venues come from PCB's party list.
What should you wear to each PCB party?
| Party | Where | Wear |
|---|---|---|
| LIT: Ultra Glow Party | Hammerhead Fred's | White or neon |
| Snowfall | Hammerhead Fred's | All white |
| Illumination: Paint Party | Hammerhead Fred's | Old white tee you can ruin |
| Pardi-Gras at Fred's | Hammerhead Fred's | Purple, green, gold |
| World Famous Foam Party | Hammerhead Fred's | Clothes you can soak |
| Aqua Wet 'n Wild Foam Party | Hammerhead Fred's | Pool-ready, quick-dry |
| Neon Honky Tonk | Hammerhead Fred's | Boots and something neon |
| St. Patty-Gras | Hammerhead Fred's | Green, purple, gold |

What is the rule for the glow parties?
Blacklights make white and neon light up and dark colors disappear. That covers LIT, Snowfall and Glow Rave. Wear one bright piece and you will show up in every photo. LIT also hands out glow gear, so you do not need to bring your own. We wrote a longer guide: what to wear to a glow party.
What should you wear to the paint party?
Illumination uses neon paint. Plan to lose the outfit. White shows the paint best, and closed shoes you can throw away beat sandals. Keep your phone and ID in a zip bag. Pack a dry top for the walk back.
What should you wear to the foam parties?
Dress for getting soaked: swimwear or quick-dry shorts and a tee you can ruin, plus shoes with grip. Keep your phone, ID and card in a waterproof pouch. Our longer guide: what to wear to a foam party.
What about the Mardi Gras nights?
Pardi-Gras (two venues) and St. Patty-Gras are bead-and-DJ nights. Purple, green and gold fit. Beads will end up around your neck, so skip anything delicate.
What should you wear to Beach Blast?
Beach Blast runs 1 to 5 PM on Wednesdays at Señor Frog's. It is outside and it is four hours long. Wear swimwear or shorts, sunglasses and shoes you can walk through sand in. Sunscreen goes on before you leave. Our Beach Blast playbook has the rest.
What about the country nights?
Neon Honky Tonk and Bass & Boots both lean country. Jeans or shorts with boots or sneakers you can dance in. A hat is fine, but only a hat you will not lose.
Any rule that works for every night?
Yes:
- Shoes you can stand in for hours. This beats a good outfit with bad shoes.
- Pockets or a small bag. ID, card, phone. That is all you need.
- A layer for the walk home. March nights near the Gulf can feel cooler. See what to wear at night in March.
