Overview
Dark Lord Day 2016 was held on Saturday, April 30th. The festival layout was largely unchanged from 2015, however in anticipation of another rainy event, the main band stage was moved inside of the large bottle sharing tent. To create more standing room, there were no longer any picnic tables under this tent.
The largest change to the festival was the move to an all inclusive model. Tickets were $200, but included 4 bottles of 2016 Dark Lord, one barrel aged Dark Lord variant, $40 in food & drink vouchers, and a commemorative tote bag. General Admission tickets were no longer available.
This year rivaled 2015 for the rainiest Dark Lord Day yet.
