Nipstock – The Anipal Times

Nipstock/Catnipalooza’s debut year has finished, and I couldn’t be more proud!

It was four days of nip, music, food and fun!

I planned this for some time. Knowing Nipfest’s end last year, I foresaw the need for August Twitter activities! This was not to replace anything or anyone. Nipfest inspired me, of course, but this was something completely different! I thought that combining live DJ sets, events, and food was an original idea for Twitter.

I feel like I had the BEST team helping me plan! Nipstock never gets off the ground with everyone that helped me plan, made pics and volunteered 4 days of their time! Too many to name one by one, but i love and cherish everyone of you.

Is year two forthcoming? There absolutely will be! We are already planning for 2027 with a new theme and everything!

So long as I am present and folks wish revelry for summer’s conclusion, #Nipstock #Catnipalooza remains!

(Think Woodstock but with catnip!)

Coming the end of August, there will be a new party happening! While there is and will only ever be one Nipfest, this one will be different. The notion occurred to me when autumn arrived. I hoped that everyone still possessed a desire to expect a concluding summer celebration!

So I got with Truman, my good friend Otto, and many others, and Nipstock 2026 aka CatnipPalooza was born!

It will be a four-day event (August 28-31) filled with music, games, events, food, and so much more (catnip too, of course!).

This party is for everyone! We’ll fulfill any suggestions y’all provide.

So many groups will be there! ECC, NPC, Laura’s Anipals, Hedgewatch, CatsOfAnarchy, The Ruffriderz, #OTLFP (who will have a live show on day 2 on Saturday!) The Aviators, NipClub, Jerry’s Cucina, just to name a few!

If you want your group involved, just let me or anyone of us know and you’re in!

We should establish this as an annual ritual. A splendid party delights everyone. Organizers pledge this weekend’s festivities will remain memorable indefinitely.
