Third time’s a charm! Once again, Riot Fest is giving ten lucky fans the honor of naming a portapotty at this year’s festival. It can be someone you love, someone you loathe, an inside joke with your friends, or literally any dumb idea you may have (within reason)!
We’re choosing 10 winners to each get a pair of 3-Day GA passes to Riot Fest 2023. As a bonus, you’ll also get bragging rights for all of 2023, which your friends and family will have to abide by.
**Update 8/23 Voting for your favorite portapotty names is now live at the link below! Good luck to all of our semi-finalists.
The Adopt-A-Portapotty contest is brought to you by WBEZ’s Curious City Podcast, a weekly show that answers all your questions about this great city we call home. Riot Fest x WBEZ’s Curious City is the perfect partnership because they love dumping poo content on you as much as the Dave Matthews Band tour bus.
