Grab free hot dogs and take advantage of killer drink specials—$4 tall boys, $6 wells, and $10 bucket u-call-its—while you dance under the neon lights at Splash. It's the perfect Sunday escape to kick back with your crew and dance into the night. This event was imported by Out x Out. Please visit the venue link to verify details.
