Locations vary so be sure to check Eventbrite and please register each time you plan to attend so we can let each venue know how many people to expect so they have enough bartenders on staff that evening.
The July 4th date will be moved to Tuesday, July 2nd. There will not be an event on July 25th due to the Dragon Boat Festival that week.
