Friday 6.15
Disney Dance Party
Kung Fu Necktie

Low-Key Concert Night
Front Street Cafe

If you’re bummed about missing Harry Styles (sadly tickets are <$20), but still want to see a concert, check out tech musician Onur Ozman, who will be playing some Swiss blends from 10 pm to 2 am.
Movie Under the Stars
Betsy Ross House

I never thought I’d say this, but Betsy Ross is throwing a party and it’s BYOB. A screening of Wonder Woman will be held in the courtyard at 8 pm.
I Miss the Old Kanye Party

Do you miss the old Kanye, straight from the go Kanye? Us too. The funeral, I mean party, starts at 10 pm.
Saturday 6.16

Standup Comedy Night

Maybe instead of blacking out tonight you just go and hear some standup comedy about other people’s blackout stories. It might feel nice not to have a hangover the next morning. Event begins at 9 pm.
