A holiday weekend is upon us and like all good party animals, we want to know where the party's at..

Earlier in the evening, one might want to head down to Barr's Park (next to Albouy's Point) to take in the Official Stomp the Beach Happy Hour, which organisers say will get your holiday started right.
