Event details

Legal Age 19+ (Valid Photo I.D. Required)Nick Gergesha has been deeply missed since he left this earth at the end of 2025. His beaming energy, boundless warmth, and the way he made people feel seen and welcomed left a lasting mark on everyone lucky enough to know and love him. In the years leading up to his passing, Nick achieved many of the goals he long dreamed about. He married the love of his life, built a beautiful life surrounded by friends, family, craft beer, dogs, and music, played countless live shows in his latest bands Sundowner and Workers Comp, and was really excited about what was next for him.To honour Nicks remarkable legacy, we want to bring his community of family, friends, fellow musicians, and everyone in his orbit together to celebrate him in the big and loud way he would love mostthrough music!We invite you to join us at Lees Palace on Sunday, May 24th for Nick Fest, a special event paying tribute to the life of Nick Gergesha.
