Save the date and get ready to celebrate a massive milestone for the Lodi community!

This October, Bar Buddies is celebrating their 10-year anniversary as our dedicated non-profit safe-ride program. For a decade, they have provided crucial late-night weekend rides to keep everyone safe, and now they want to thank the community that makes it all possible. To show their appreciation, Bar Buddies is hosting an epic anniversary bash on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

The celebration kicks off at 10:00 AM CDT at the Waddle Inn in Lodi. They have a full day and night of fun planned, featuring a golf outing, raffles, 50/50 drawings, great food, and live music by Saturday Morning Cartel. Be sure to keep an eye on their social media channels for “Bar Buddies Trivia Time” – the first person to answer correctly wins a $5 ride chip!

Check out their Facebook event page for the latest updates and details. Mark your calendars for October 10th, and let’s show our support for an organization that continuously looks out for Lodi!
