A WEEKEND WITH THE CLUB: BAYC Reveals ApeFest 2026 Calendar Featuring Paintball, Poker, Parties, And More!

From paintball to a donut pop up, ApeFest 2026 is so much more than just a night at Beeple’s studio in Charleston, South Carolina. It’s an entire weekend spent with the best club on the internet, in real life!

Things were anything but boring on Thursday as the Bored Ape Yacht Club shared a first look at its ApeFest calendar, featuring not only the club’s official events, but also community led initiatives like hangouts, happy hours, and more!

 

 

“It’s a pretty full weekend if you want it to be one,”Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge said on Space today.  “Ive been looking over all the events and I think what we are trying to do is have the programing for the community events, and the Yuga events compatible and make sure there is counter programing for those who want to do something outdoorsy and something that’s a little more chill.”

With just 51 days until ApeFest, the club’s schedule currently features nine events, including paintball hosted by ApeWhale, Ladies Afternoon High Tea with TigerIsFine, Sunset Welcome Drinks at Muddy’s, a poker tournament hosted by ApeChurch, a Builders Brunch, a French Fam get together with the French Ape Yacht Club, ApeFest’s main event at Beeple Studios, an Otherside donut pop up, and Yuga Labs’ merch shop that’s open all weekend.

 

Ticketing for ApeFest 2026 is set to reopen tomorrow afternoon at 12 P.M. ET with a brand new ticketing system that will give Bored Ape holders the chance to invite two guests and Mutant holders the chance to invite one.

The Gazette is working to find out more about all things ApeFest and will bring you additional details on the weekend’s events and updated ticketing system as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for updates!
