On the day, the Associated Press reported that "thousands of people" attended. There was live music, a horse race and prizes. With the event said to resemble a rock concert, medical and security officials also attended.

Honestly, having your party go viral looks a bit stressful. Here's hoping Rubi ignored the crowds and enjoyed the day.

Everyone else is very sad they missed it.
