About the event

Get ready for a night where comfy meets completely chaotic. Croc & Shock is a snack-filled, photo-ready hangout where the only rule is: wear Crocs with the most unexpected outfit you can imagine. Think prom gowns with neon Crocs. Business suits with pastel Crocs. Sports uniforms, robes, glam, glitter all grounded by those iconic rubber shoes. The clashier, the better.
