4th of July Parties?
« on: June 23, 2010, 01:10:59 PM »
Any cool places in London to celebrate (trying to throw a American bash for my co-workers - pretty ridiculous given the history of the holiday).

We are having our 2nd Annual BBQ, although hosting it on the 3rd as Saturday evening is much better for people. One other American there apart from DW, but all our friends really enjoyed it last year and said they hoped we did it again. So numbers up from 12 to 20 this year!
We had Philadelphia rock music radio WMMR streaming via the internet through some wireless speakers in the garden, American style food - burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork. American flag bunting in the garden. I drew the line at the beer though and got some mini kegs from a local brewery.
Later in the evening once we came back inside we had the baseball on ESPN America.
This year, another local brewery - so now I'm calling it our Annual BBQ and mini beer festival!

I was thinking of hosting a party down here in central West Sussex, but I haven't met any other Yanks in my area. Let me know if anyone is interested! We will have everything but the fireworks (since I don't know where to get them).

We have sparklers for the party which we bought in November, as that's when fireworks are on general sale here
Look for a Chinese firework place though or check online

And don't worry about needing other Yanks, all our friends loved it, just have an American theme, but it's just the opportunity for friends to get together.
