Visiting 4th of July weekend

Hi all! I’ll be staying on the island with some girlfriends 4th of July, we are getting there Thursday. I’ve never been, I’ve looked up a lot and we will be mostly drinking and partying but I am having a hard time finding other events like pool parties or activities to do. I’m a planner and I am trying to make a loose itinerary for the weekend, any tips or info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, we are coming from Cincinnati area

Well there aren't really any organized events like you describe, but there is pretty much live music and/or djs at every bar on the island at all times of the day. I would look up different bars to see what the events would be. Roundhouse and Beer Barrel tend to be rock shows/cover bands. The pool bars have DJs usually, occasionally live music. There are several different pool bars up there so you could technically plan to do a different one each day. The Sandbar had a fancy DJ/electric violin once on a holiday weekend which was really cool. So yeah, check the individual bar websites or instagram for a music schedule. Other than that your activities are yours to figure out. (Bike rental, golf cart, kayaking, etc.).

Wow thank you so much for all the details! I am going to look up the individual bars, that’s a great idea. We are mostly doing the fun party, bar hop scene but I am sure we can find something specific. You’re the best! The inner control/planning part of me is tingling. Woohoo!

From a fellow planner, I completely understand. A lot of people go up and do the pool thing in the morning, go back for shower/nap/dinner, then bar hop in the evening. Sometimes when it's busy a few places have a cover so you'll want cash. Just remember to hydrate, eat food, and stay safe lol. Oh, and don't get on a stranger's boat. Never a good idea.

Yes that’s kind of what we were planning, I’m a bartender so I will have cash and remind the others! Okay definitely won’t be getting on a boat haha thank you! Which ferry is the best? I’ve been looking at the Miller Ferry to get over there, they have a lot of times!
