Countless clues, tons of theories, and hours of speculation have left many around the swamp second-guessing where ApeFest 2026 would take place, even after it was effectively confirmed last week that the event was heading to Beeple Studios in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 17.
But because the Bored Ape Yacht Club never explicitly tweeted the venue's address, some Apes kept the "So you're telling me there's a chance?" theories alive, wondering if something else was still in the works.
Thankfully, that speculation can officially come to an end.
On Tuesday, the BAYC updated its official ApeFest website, confirming that the club's flagship event will indeed be held at Beeple Studios, located at 2325 Charleston Regional Parkway, Charleston, SC 29492, on October 17.
As the Gazette prevously reported, Beeple's Studio is a 50,000-square-foot venue featuring a 13,000 square foot immersive digital art gallery and a 13,000 square foot experiential event space.
Beeple officially opened the venue in March 2023 to celebrate the second anniversary of his historic "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" auction at Christie's, which sold for $69 million USD.
In the years since, Beeple's Studio has become something of a home base for the NFT space, with meetups, exhibitions, and other events all happening here.
“Since we launched the studio… I very much wanted it to be a place where we could try out a lot of different types of events,” Beeple tweeted in 2024. “Bringing together a wide variety of communities around digital art.”
With that in mind, Beeple Studios feels like the perfect place to host a bunch of primates!
The Gazette is working to learn more about Charleston, Beeple Studios, side events, and ticketing, and will let you know as soon as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for updates!
