One of the best things about having a birthday during the summer months is the party that comes along! It can be hard, especially for younger gals to miss out on the requisite birthday treat from your teacher/celebration in the classroom or otter pops recess, and as you get older, to not have a 21 run down Greek row, or to have all your friends on vacation if you want to have a little get together after work. But we’re looking on the bright side here; you’ve the sun, the weather, and hopefully a few days off from work or school to take advantage of! So whether you’re throwing your little rugrat’s a birthday party or planning the best bash since My Super Sweet 16, we’ve got you covered and where to go to get crazy!
12 and Under

Teens
Teen birthday parties can sometimes be difficult to plan, as everybody has different tastes and under 18’s can feel excluded from activities that require a certain age. But fear not, one of our favorite things to do for birthdays was and is going to concerts! This can be a pricier plan, so consider asking for tickets in lieu of birthday presents, or just go with a few close friends or family. Lucky for all the Hamptons gals, the Paramount and Oakdale Theatre have a great variety of acts in rotation for August—get your tickets now for The Pistol Annies, Martina McBride, Robin Thicke, or B.o.B!
21+
It’s about time to celebrate that 21 run milestone! And if you’re already there, birthday parties in your 20s are about living it up, sans any kind of restrictions. The Hamptons boast plenty of fabulous clubs that you are your ladies can go and dance all night at. Grab drinks on the beach and get your b-day girl dance on!
Anybody want to club with Sofia Vergara? Of course you do. So head over to South Pointe! The club has featured DJs from Calvin Harris, Avicii, and Max Vangeli to Funkagenda and an indoor nightclub and outdoor cabana area. Basically, a birthday girl (or boy!)’s dream come true venue.
