Secret Show 2025

Secret Show is a free grassroots event that takes place at a different secret location every year. The very first secret show was organized by a bunch of bike ladies in 2021. Since then, the party has gotten bigger. It’s always different and always fun.

Don’t miss out this year! We’ve got some surprises planned.

WHERE TO START

Davis White Northeast Neighborhood Park at 6:00pm. You'll be guided to the secret location where the main show will take place. The journey take be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on how much you choose to savor. The entire experience is musical, from start to finish.

WHAT TO BRING

You'll walk a total of two miles in twilight, so pack accordingly. Wear comfortable shoes. You can bring canned and bottled drinks (no glass in parks!), but if you do, be sure you have a way to carry your trash back out with you. Adult beverages are fine; just don't get rowdy. It's not that kind of vibe.

WHO CAN COME

Anyone capable of walking or rolling two miles is welcome to attend. Some of the terrain is rough: think of the crushed granite path around Ladybird Lake, but with more golfball-sized rocks in the mix.

RAIN DATE

Friday, November 7th at 6:00pm. Davis White Northeast Neighborhood Park.
