As part of its sponsorship with LiveNation Entertainment, Carnival Cruise Lines has been hosting fun-filled Sailgate Parties prior to concerts in several U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

These pre-concert parties bring Carnival’s spirited brand of fun ashore with great tunes and dancing, a live DJ and a host of activities.  In addition to enjoying a rocking good time, guests participating in Carnival’s Sailgate Parties can enjoy special photo opportunities as they pose with oversized guitars and spin a giant wheel to win VIP ticket upgrades for that evening’s show, tickets for upcoming concerts and other great prizes.

The Sailgate Parties are part of Carnival’s Rock the Deck concert series running through the end of this month and featuring some of the music industry’s top-selling artists.
