Guide to Drinking at The Governors Ball Music Festival 2018

The Governors Ball is one of our favorite events of the year and undoubtedly one of the very best music festivals in NYC. From June 1st – June 3rd on Randall’s Island, the masters at Founders Entertainment have once again put together a top notch line-up for 2018 with the killer music, food and of course, drink! This year, we are excited to pair the many cocktail, beer and wine offerings with four stages of live performances by Eminem, Jack White, Travis Scott, N.E.RD., Diplo & Mark Ronson and so many more.
