#nakedespy SURVIVAL GUIDE 2025

#nakedespy is just around the corner.

Here is a quick survival guide for all you brave participants.

WHERE TO LINE UP:

• Line up outside of espy on 9th Avenue in Inglewood.

WHEN TO ARRIVE:

• You MUST be in the line-up no later than 4:30 PM.
• You will be numbered when you arrive in the order you arrive (we expect the line-up to start around 3:00 PM.)
• Keep in mind: the first in line is the first to be dressed when you get back from the parade!
• The event will officially begin at 5:00 PM.
• The MAN VAN will be parked outside of espy from 2-5 PM. We encourage you to come early and get a test!

WHAT TO WEAR:

• Wear your SAXX underwear underneath your clothes (pickup at espy by April 11)
• Wear whatever you’d like to line up in. You will be stripping down and then getting styled in your new clothes at the after-party.
• Feel free to accessorize your undies- fanny packs, bright shoes, hats, sunglasses, sweatbands, etc. are welcome!

HOW LONG WILL I BE IN MY UNDERWEAR OUTSIDE?

• Strip down will happen just after 5:00 PM out front of espy. You’ll be doing a short activity and then walking around in your underwear for about 30 minutes with a few indoor stops around the neighbourhood.
• After the parade, we’ll head back to espy for the party, beginning at 6:00 PM.
• We will be styling you in your new outfits at the party!

MY FRIENDS WANT TO WATCH THE PARADE AND ATTEND THE AFTER PARTY:

• They can purchase tickets HERE for $60. Tickets include a $20 food voucher, 3 drink tickets, live entertainment, and a ride on a Pedal Pub during the parade (limited tickets available). Additional tickets will be available for purchase after the bikes sell out.
• Guests can arrive at espy by 5:00 PM to see all of the action.
• We will be continuing to take donations during the event.
• The Prostate Cancer Centre is also running a 50/50 draw that will continue throughout the evening until around 8:30 PM. Purchase 50/50 tickets HERE.

WHERE DO I PUT MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS WHILE I’M IN MY UNDERWEAR?

• espy staff and volunteers will be there to take your stuff to coat check once you strip down. The number you get when you arrive will be your nakedespy ID for the whole night.
• Coat check is located inside espy and will be available to you throughout the event with your nakedespy ID.
• Food and drink tickets will be provided to you at the party.

WHERE DO I PARK?

• There is street parking available in Inglewood and the surrounding streets
• Weekend parking at the Atlantic Arts Building is $2 behind the building or underground.
• If you are drinking, we ask that you please be responsible. Don’t drink and drive.

My 12 YEAR OLD WANTS TO WATCH THE PERFORMANCES AT THE PARTY:

• SORRY, this is an 18+ event once the party starts.

HOW LONG SHOULD I PLAN TO BE THERE?

• The event will end around 9:30 PM with the announcement of Mr. Nakedespy and the prize giveaways. Participants are welcome to head to some local neighbourhood spots to continue their night following the party.

We can’t wait to enjoy this day with you and raise tons of money for a great cause. Be prepared for lots of fun and laughs as we take over 9th Avenue!
