Main Event is making waves this summer with Shark Bite Shirley Week, a fin-tastic celebration that transforms an ordinary staycation into an unforgettable adventure. From July 27 through August 1, guests can dive into participating Main Event centers for jaw-some fun for all ages.
As families look for exciting ways to stay close to home and make the most of summer, Shark Bite Shirley Week delivers a one-stop destination packed with fun and food. Main Event recently launched a new lineup of bold and refreshing sips that are making a splash this season, including the playful Shark Bite Shirley. Plus, new craveable eats can fuel guests as they explore all the adventures- bowling, laser tag, games, and more- under one roof.
Adding to the excitement, Main Event is releasing their very own sharks (brand ambassadors) into the wild. Select markets will feature shark sightings, where friendly shivers will be giving away branded mini sharks that are redeemable for a Free Shark Bite Shirley, a limited-time, specialty drink topped with a keepsake shark toy. Approximately 1,500 mini sharks will be given away across Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and other markets. Follow Main Event on social @mymainevent for clues on upcoming sightings during the week of July 27.
“Our Shark Bite Shirley Week is a playful tribute to the excitement and fascination surrounding ocean wildlife and summer’s favorite apex predator,” said Laurie Curtis, Head of Marketing at Main Event Entertainment. “We’re bringing all the thrills of a summer adventure together in one place and giving families a fun, affordable way to staycation with us. Whether guests are discovering our newest arcade games, enjoying immersive attractions, or sharing a meal together, Shark Bite Shirley Week is all about helping families take a bite out of summer and create lasting memories.”
