Backyard Boogie at Public at the Brickyard
Kick off summer the right way. Backyard Boogie returns with a special Memorial Day celebration—where the vibes are high, the drinks stay cold, and the music doesn’t miss.
We’re bringing that signature backyard energy with nonstop R&B, hip hop, and feel-good anthems all day long. Expect DJ edits, smooth blends, and a crowd that actually came outside to move.
From the grill to the bar, everything’s set: drinks flowing, hookah in rotation, and nothing but good energy in the air. Whether you’re dancing by the booth or cooling off with a drink, this is your official start to summer.
