The Oasis

The Oasis is dedicated to providing diverse and entertaining content. During the daytime, the main focus is on family-friendly programming that is suitable for all ages, ensuring wholesome entertainment for viewers of every generation. The daytime lineup will feature a wide array of shows, panels, and educational content designed to engage and inspire.

As the sun sets, the nighttime programming takes a more mature turn, catering to audiences aged 18 and over. During these later hours, attendees can expect edgier content geared towards more adult-oriented themes. During the later hours, the Oasis becomes a place where you can enjoy all the exclusive mature, age-restricted programming you desire.

During nighttime programming you must be 18 years or older, and have a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID in order to be admitted to any of the programming at The Oasis.
