UNITY: America's Night Out | July 4, 2026 | The Drinks at 9 | Lutz, FL
About this Event
Downtown Tampa will be crowded.
Parking will be a nightmare.
And you'll spend half the night watching fireworks from across the water.
Or you could stay in your own neighborhood, where the grill is already going,
the games are already running, and the fireworks are happening right out front.
UNITY: America's Night Out.
Saturday, July 4, 2026.
The Drinks at 9. Lutz, FL.
No cover. 3 PM to Midnight.
This is not a bar event with a holiday theme.
This is your community celebrating the biggest Fourth of July in 250 years,
built for the people who live here, raise families here, and deserve a
premium night without driving 30 minutes south to find one.
RSVP above. Complimentary entry. Capacity is limited.

PHASE ONE: THE BLOCK PARTY
3:00 PM to 8:00 PM | Outdoor Patio | All Ages | No Cover
The patio opens at 3 PM and it comes alive.
A live chef fires up the grill with American cookout classics, cooked
outside, in front of you, the way the Fourth is supposed to feel.
The lawn game bracket tournament runs all afternoon. Cornhole. Giant
Jenga. Teams drawn from a hat. Strangers become teammates. Winners
get bragging rights. The DJ keeps it moving the entire time.
Red, white, and blue from the decorations to the drink specials.
Bring the whole family. This is the block party Lutz has never had.

PHASE TWO: THE NIGHT
8:00 PM to 9:00 PM | Patio + Indoor | All Ages | No Cover
At 8 PM the energy shifts. The cookout gives way to the evening.
The kids wind down. The adults settle in. The DJ transitions inside.
Drink specials kick into full gear.

PHASE THREE: AMERICA'S NIGHT OUT
9:00 PM to Midnight | Indoor | 21+ | No Cover
At 9 PM, the inside belongs to the adults.
21 and over. DJ running the floor. Full bar. Drink specials through
close. This is the North Tampa premium nightlife experience that
exists nowhere else in this corridor on a Friday, Saturday, or
any other night of the year.

AND THEN THE FIREWORKS.
Later in the evening, fireworks go up right out front of The Drinks at 9.
Not a view of someone else's show from a parking lot.
Not a rooftop glimpse of something happening three miles away.
Fireworks. Outside. At the venue. You step out front and the sky opens up.
This is what the 250th looks like in Lutz.
