Family-reunion inspired cookout with DJs, food, cocktails, games, and local vendors at Pershing Hall.
Auntie's House presents Auntie Got Her Groove Back at Pershing Hall on Sunday, July 19, starting at 4 PM. It's built around the idea of a family-reunion cookout, so the whole afternoon is a mix of DJs, food, cocktails, games, and local vendors. If you've ever been to one of those big family get-togethers where the music never stops and there's always something to eat, that's the energy they're going for.
Pershing Hall is a good spot for it. The venue is a 1940s lumber mill brought back to life, and it's set up with a focus on the listening experience. They curate a wide range of programming throughout the month—local live music, art exhibits, stand-up comedy, and guest speakers—and they serve craft cocktails. It also doubles as a backdrop for private events like corporate gatherings, art shows, reunions, and fundraisers. The venue operates as a social club, with a membership that gives you access to private concerts, early RSVP lists, and discounts on renting the event space.

For this particular afternoon, the focus is on the cookout side of things: DJs on the decks, food and cocktails to keep you going, games to play, and local vendors set up around the room. It's a long-haul kind of event, starting in the late afternoon and running through the evening, so you can roll in whenever you like and hang out for as long as you want. If you're looking for a Sunday that feels more like a party than a wind-down, this is it. Auntie Got Her Groove Back kicks off at 4 PM on Sunday, July 19, at Pershing Hall, 2415 East 5th Street.
