The Best Themed Trivia Nights This Week (June 29 – July 4, 2026)
Happy almost-Fourth of July, trivia fans.
This is a shorter week on the themed trivia calendar — the holiday tends to thin things out a bit — but the events that ARE happening are genuinely worth your time. You’ve got 80s nostalgia, a Pride trivia night benefiting a local organization, and a Taylor Swift celebration on the eve of the holiday that honestly sounds like the perfect pre-fireworks Friday night out.
July 4th itself is a day off from trivia (go enjoy those fireworks), but the days leading up to it? Those are yours.
We’ll be back with a packed July 7th lineup, so check back then for the full summer trivia calendar. More themes, more cities, more events to put on your calendar.
