Written By: Chelsea Raineri Red, White & Luau Fourth of July in Orange County is a sacred holiday, a time to show your bicycle some love and pull it out of the garage for a full day of festivities. But why should the holiday stop there? Extend this glorious day to the night before, or Fourth of July Eve one might call it. Beat the case of the Mondays, grab your best Hawaiian attire and make your way to the Newport Dunes for LOCALE Magazine’s 7th Annual Red, White & Luau on July 3 from 6-9 p.m. As if celebrating the freedom of your country a day early isn’t enough reason to book your spot, here are five reasons you won’t want to miss the luau of the year! Games, Selfies and Prizes From Ruby’s Diner Ruby’s, the staple of Orange County, will be offering loads of fun and games—literally! With everything from cornhole and Jumbo Jenga, to photo op zones and a relaxation zone, this beloved diner is pulling out all the stops. They’re also bringing a prize zone that will have a spin wheel where you can win prizes like a cup that gives you access to free shakes for a whole month! Amazing Drinks (Non-hosted) Photo By: Rebecca Gnasso As mentioned before, you may feel the need to unwind after your long Monday, and LOCALE is here to provide.
