Get Your Obetz Black Card Before Zucchinifest!

It’s almost time for Zucchinifest which means it’s time to make sure you are registered for your Obetz Black Card in order to utilize our Zucchinifest Home Advantage Program!

This program includes a special concert viewing area, exclusive parking, and other festival perks! Please be sure you are registered for your Black Card by August 1, 2024 to take advantage of this.
