Upset with the current state of your country but, you & your friends still want to have fun on a Saturday night? Come on down to Music Box Village’s Anti-Fourth of July Party! 

Simply put, we feel it isn't right to celebrate “the birth of the United States as an independent nation” when many of our people in this country are still not truly free. This party will be an effort to celebrate, bring attention, & give respect to the people who have been historically disrespected in this country. 

All proceeds from this party will be donated to The Promise of Justice Organization & The Backstreet Museum in an effort to contribute directly to the reparations that those very people deserve.

Join us for sounds by Dj Aliyuhhh & DJ Waffl3 along with electric guitar accompaniment by Andres Acosta…live performances by local burlesque & drag performers…delicious food & drinks…and much more!
