Step into your JNCO jeans (hopefully Ospreys can’t actually do this), because Independence Day is Monday. This means there are parties all weekend and no classes on Monday.
Friday, July 1 and Saturday, July 2: Closing Ceremonies and The Funeral of Burro Bar
What: Jacksonville will bury Burro Bar this weekend, but this concert venue isn’t leaving without a show. Join the city and a slew of bands this weekend as we say goodbye to another local dive.
When: Friday: 8 p.m. ; Saturday: 5:30 p.m.
Where: Burro Bar
Saturday, July 2: Make America Gay Again
What: The Glitterbomb Show is back with more sketches, drag performances, speeches and more. A sign language interpreter will be there to translate each message, and all proceeds will go toward the Pulse Orlando Victims fund. Tickets are $5 here or $10 at the door.

Where: Rain dogs.
Saturday, July 2: Void’s Great American Sip N Slide
