We’re gearing up for July 4th weekend and I’m headed to the beach. That’s a bummer because there are a ton of killer nights going on this week that I’m gonna have to miss, I’m getting so bummed just looking at all these great parties. Well, assuming you’re in town, take advantage and find a party. We’ve got a few listings for the big July 4th weekend in here but I’ll post some more next week, and get back just in time for the holiday.
As always, if you don’t see something you like posted here in the newsletter, check out our full listings for the week on the website for way more parties. These are just the cream of the crop.

FEATURED EVENT
RELEASE the MERICAN BEAST
Our patriotism approaches its zenith, like a rocket steadily propelled up into the air. So then does our American side come out: cheap watery beer, ridiculous piles of food and blowin’ stuff up real good. Release the Beast is a dance party about letting your cares go and getting in touch with your inner, primal self, so what better time than Independence Day? But seeing as this is a special occasion, we have some special things planned:
DONUT EATING COMPETITION
-nuff said-
STRONG AMERICAN CONTEST
-who’s the best at arm wrestling immediately after shotgunning a beer?-
AMERICAN-THEMED DRINK SPECIALS
-at least one will be trailer park themed-
DANCE UNDERNEATH THE STARS AND STRIPES-
-the Grand Victory’s gigantic merican flag will be on display, as always, as American as Instagram-
AMERICAN MUSIC PLAYED BY AMERICAN DJs, IN WAL-MART WE TRUST
-DJs Brian Blackout & Doctor Mister will intoxicate you a heady, patriotic mix of soul, funk, psych, arena rock, and muscly-armed disco all night long
ANYONE REQUESTING KATY PERRY’S FIREWORK WILL BE TORN LIMB FROM LIMB BY WILD DOGS
-sorry, that’s like, just our policy-
We’ll be starting directly after the explosions in the sky have finished, so let’s get American.
RELEASE THE BEAST
Saturday July 4th
10pm – 4am
@ The Grand Victory
247 Grand St., Williamsburg, Bk
