The Sunday DRIFT Rooftop DJ Series at The Velvet Hippo is a weekly afternoon music event featuring rotating DJs, drink specials, and skyline views in downtown Durham. Because this event is strictly for ages 21 and older, you will need to leave the kids at home with a sitter. There is no cover charge to enter, and you can expect drink specials like mimosas and spritzes. Street parking is available nearby, or you can use the Chapel Hill Street parking garage located just a short walk away. This is a great excuse to secure a babysitter for a few hours and transition into the workweek with some adult conversation. The early evening timeframe means you can enjoy the music, catch the sunset, and still get home in time for a reasonable Sunday night bedtime.
