RUSH Pool Party

RUSH: Queer Pool Party – 4th of July Weekend Closer

Get ready to dive into the grand finale of your 4th of July weekend with RUSH — the ultimate queer pool party that turns up the heat and closes the weekend with a splash! Held on Sunday, July 6, RUSH is a vibrant, high-energy celebration of queer joy, summer freedom, and unapologetic self-expression.

Picture this: sun-kissed bodies, icy drinks in hand, and a soundtrack of pulsing house, pop, and disco spun by DJ Mario. The pool becomes a dancefloor, floaties double as photo ops, and the energy stays high from afternoon sun to golden hour glow. Whether you're cooling off with friends or making new ones in the deep end, RUSH is where connections spark, inhibitions fade, and the weekend’s final chapter is written in technicolor.

RUSH isn’t just a pool party — it’s a movement, a moment, and the perfect way to end the long weekend on a high. Come make waves. 🌈💦
