Loving that we get a 3-day weekend this weekend and again in two weeks, which means we have enough time to do chores AND party AND recover afterwards! We’re starting to build out our 4th of July weekend events roundup, so if you or someone you know is throwing a sweet party or barbecue, please send us the deets!

Fireworks are cool. Eight straight hours of hypnotic psytrance is cooler…

This 4th of July, Dreamstate's Into The Sequence takes over NOS Events Center with Astrix, Infected Mushroom, Tristan, and a stacked lineup of underground favorites spinning until 4AM. One lucky DoLA-er is winning this free pair of tickets!*
