All About TBOX Opening & Closing Ceremonies and Going All The Way (Wire to Wire)

Since 2007, TBOX starts & ends w/ Opening and Closing Ceremonies (just like the OLYMPICS!) at Cubby Bear.  Opening Ceremonies are one of the most fun, exciting, high-energy parts of the TBOX experience and highly recommended.  
And… We Love People at TBOX to Go “WIRE TO WIRE” – that means GO ALL THE WAY – from beginning to end. 
The 2023 Opening Cermonies start at 10AM at Cubby Bear, featuring THE SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE BAND!  We’ll have the official TBOX Kickoff with Founder Mr. Festa, and your chance to get all the best stickers, cereal shots, and lose your TBOX Virginity!
