The Fourth of July. America Day. For some, it means getting proudly decked out in our flag’s color scheme, championing our country and its accomplishments at both public and private events, and ultimately celebrating until it is no longer physically feasible to celebrate. For others, it’s a holiday-turned-three day weekend that offers (normally) great weather, great music, and ample hangout + cookout time in the backyard or on the beach with the friends and fam. For a select few, its little more than an evening defined by copious amounts of industrial-strength fireworks and low-key questionable safety measures.
Whichever group you belong to, you’d be wise to know that this weekend carries with it some awesome events and live music worth checking out/bringing your dance moves to. Peep them below, have fun, and be safe + respectful out there this weekend. Also, semi-related video, re: America.
All events brought to you by the best dudes ever, over at Free Ride. Please give them a shout before you think of getting behind the wheel this weekend.
