The Sunday "Tea" Party

😱 last Frederick vinyl party of 2025 😱

🙃 SUNDAY, AUG 24, 2-6ish 🙂
*** FREE, ALL AGES, 21+ TO DRINK, BYO VINYL***

🚨 THIS WEEKS LINEUP 🚨

The Sunday “Tea” Party has been our favorite part of the week for 4 months straight- but all good things must end 🕊️

Don’t worry we’ll be back- just taking a break to recalibrate and make space for Sunday Football 🏈

Back in April, Sandbox Brewhouse made space and Zzingg held the first “tea” party, no vendors, no guest DJs- just him spinning records for 4 hours.

Each week more people joined in- come May guest DJ Live Action Mixed Tape and vendor Giga Pop! became regulars, in June vendor happy to be here/ Blind to Society joined in. By July guest DJ and vendor DJ Dub / 1200 Flavors came on board. What started out as just “Tea” truly became a Party.

The “tea” party was always meant to give music lovers a place to soak up their final hours of weekend fun and to make some friends along the way. Thanks to you all, I think we’ve accomplished that 🙏

🎶 LETS DO IT ONE LAST TIME 🎶

It’s not goodbye- it’s see you later ✌️ ❤️
