Festival of the Free

Overview

Celebrating July 4th in Australia by doing something other than watching aliens blow up the White House is one of those "any excuse for a party" type of deals. Sure, most of us don't actually need a reason for a shindig — but isn't eating, drinking and being merry that little bit more enjoyable when you've got an occasion to commemorate?

If you answered yes, and you're fond of wings and whiskey, then Buffalo Bar's three-day Festival of the Free is definitely for you. And if you need something more to get you excited, then perhaps corn tossing, laneway tailgate-style shenanigans, a Lady Liberty food challenge and Seinfeld trivia will do the trick.

Add live bands to the mix, and this American-themed extravaganza has everything from food to entertainment — and a Jack Daniel's pop-up bar as well. Plus, come Sunday, the fun keeps on keepin' on with a $65-per head, three-course Independence Day Feasting Package complete with Buffalo signature wings, smoked beef brisket and warm apple pie. Yum.
