Silent Disco Party | Oilcan Harry’s | 10PM
A quiet night out at the club? Yup. Silent Disco Party offers you to bust a move on the dance floor with a twist: you need headphones to hear the music.

The cool thing about this is that you can control the volume of what you’re jamming out to, which means there’s definitely room for socializing.
The Throwback Party | Vulcan Gas Company | 9PM
Take advantage of this throwback party! Because it’s only happening once this summer. Travel back in time to the 1990s and early 2000s by dressing (nostalgically) to impress! There will be hip-hop, R&B and pop music to get you in the throwback mood. Tickets are up for grabs now!
