Celebrate Día de la Independencia

Dance the night away to the music you still love. Make plans to be at The Secret Group’s 90s & Y2K Dance Party on Saturday, Sept. 17. The sounds of Britney Spears, Vanilla Ice, Tupac, and more will fill the building until 2 a.m. Admission is free, but the party is for 21 and up only.
Football and more this weekend
Start with a guacamole and salsa contest on Friday. Add in a Saturday afternoon of college football with some bonus boxing that night. Then finish things off with a top-notch NFL rivalry game on Sunday. Little Woodrow’s has you covered all weekend long.
