KICK OFF MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WITH THE BIGGEST AND BEST 2000s PARTY! ORANGE SODA THIS EVENT IS 21+ WHAT IS ORANGE SODA? The idea behind Orange Soda is to capture the feeling of the 2000’s decade and highlight the music and experiences that shaped us into who we are. Parties in high school and college were full of life lessons: the people danced, there was a care-free attitude where the only priority was having fun, and the music was so good that you couldn’t help but sing and rap along. Orange Soda is, for at least one night, a blast to the past and a pioneering party experience designed to pay attention to an era that we all loved, but don’t appreciate enough. The people who come to OS are the ones who want to drink, dance, and throw caution to the wind. If you aint about that life, you'd best just stay home or else you're going to find yourself amongst a vibe that you just don't understand. Sounds by DJ BERN and special guest DJs! This event is 21+ Established December 2017, Orange Soda captures the Neo- Nostalgia, so you can’t help but “crank that” when Souljaboy tells you to, and you have to join in screaming “Dont Do it! Reconsider!” during the Int’l Player’s Anthem. You come to Orange Soda prepared to sweat, so you’re not worried about your fit. You'll even find yourself joining in on the traditional Orange Soda Slide when Usher's "U Don't Have To Call" comes on.
