| 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Did your school host a graduation carnival? Well, we're pretty sure it didn't include a tequila tasting! In place of off-property excursions, we invite you to join us on Pacific Lawn anytime between 2:00 and 5:00 PM for the ALMA Class of 2023 Graduation Carnival. But unlike your school's event, we'll provide a variety of bubbles, beer, and booze to awaken your inner child! If you're feeling brave, you can even test your abilities with our human claw machine!

| 6:00 PM - 11:00 PM | Join us for an unforgettable night of nostalgia at this year's theme party, "Forever Young: ALMA Class of 2023." Whether you rocked bell bottoms in the 70s, teased your hair to new heights in the 80s, or rocked a grunge look in the 90s, we want you to represent your senior year of high school with gusto! Dress up in your favorite high school fashion and dance the night away to classic hits from every era. It's a chance to let loose, have fun, and revisit the good old days! (If costumes aren't your thing, resort casual attire is okay, too.) Pacific Ballroom | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
