The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) has held six ApeFests since 2021: in New York in 2021 and 2022, in Hong Kong in 2023, in Lisbon in 2024, in Las Vegas in 2025 and on October 17, 2026 in Charleston, South Carolina. ApeFest is the annual gathering of holders, and tickets are tied to owning an Ape NFT. What sets it apart is the mix of concert and product stage: at Pier 17, Eminem and Snoop Dogg shared the stage, ApeChain launched in Lisbon, and the card game Mudwater in Charleston.
