Welcome back, trivia people.

We’re deep into the sticky middle of summer now, and the themed trivia calendar has fully shaken off its early-July slumber. This week is a busy one: a Milford, Connecticut double-header that swings from country music to K-Pop Demon Hunters, a New York bar running a four-night fandom gauntlet, a vampire slayer taking over a Seattle bar, and — because summer apparently isn’t hot enough — a Christmas trivia night in Maryland.

Here’s everything worth putting on your calendar between July 20th and July 26th.

This Week’s Themed Trivia

This week’s events include:

  • Country Music
  • K-Pop Demon Hunters
  • Harry Potter
  • Disney
  • Taylor Swift
  • Survivor
  • The Office
  • The Bear
  • And more!

Featured Themed Trivia Nights This Week

🎤 Milford Goes From Country Music to K-Pop Demon Hunters — Milford, CT

Milford, Connecticut is pulling off the widest tonal range of the week, and it’s not close. On one end of town, Stonebridge is running a Country Music Trivia Night. On the other, Tribus Beer Co. is throwing a K-Pop Demon Hunters Family Fun Day — a daytime, all-ages event built around the animated phenomenon that’s been impossible to escape all year.

Whether you know every word to a George Strait deep cut or you’re here strictly for HUNTR/X, Milford has a night with your name on it. Bonus points if you do both.

Country Music Trivia Night — Stonebridge — Monday, July 20 — 7:00 PM

Boots, ballads, and the kind of country catalog that spans Cash to Combs.

  • Time: 7:00 PM

K-Pop Demon Hunters Family Fun Day — Tribus Beer Co. — Sunday, July 26 — 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM

🗽 Slattery’s Midtown Pub Runs a Four-Night Fandom Gauntlet — New York, NY

They did it again. Fresh off last month’s fandom triathlon, Slattery’s Midtown Pub is back with an even more ambitious run: four themed nights in a single week. Heated Rivalry (the hockey romance series) on Tuesday, Disney Movies on Wednesday, Survivor on Thursday, and America 250 U.S. History on Friday to warm up for the semiquincentennial.

It’s less a trivia night and more a rotating buffet of fandoms. Pick your night, or go full legend and clear all four.

Heated Rivalry Trivia — Tuesday, July 21 — 7:00 PM

The hockey romance series that took BookTok by storm. Rivals, chemistry, and a lot of on-ice tension.

Disney Movies Trivia — Wednesday, July 22 — 7:00 PM

From the classics to Pixar to the modern hits — the full Disney vault.

Survivor Trivia — Thursday, July 23 — 7:00 PM

Forty-plus seasons of blindsides, immunity idols, and outwit-outplay-outlast chaos.

America 250: U.S. History Trivia — Friday, July 24 — 7:00 PM

A run-up to the country’s 250th, covering the founding, the presidents, and the trivia your high school teacher wishes you’d remembered.

Unofficial bonus points if your team survives all four nights.

Possible team names:

  • The Tribe Has Spoken (Fluently)
  • Mickey’s Immunity Idol
  • Founding Fathers of Trivia
  • Blindside Book Club

🧛 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Takes Over Wildrose — Seattle, WA

Wildrose, one of the longest-running lesbian bars in the country, is hosting a Buffy the Vampire Slayer trivia night on Wednesday, July 22 — and if there’s a more fitting venue for a Buffy takeover, we haven’t found it. Sunnydale nostalgia, a beloved cult classic, and a room that will absolutely have opinions about Spike versus Angel.

Grab your Scooby Gang and get in there.

  • Venue: Wildrose

  • Time: 7:00 PM

Brush up on:

🎄 Christmas in July Trivia — Columbia, MD

Because 90-degree weather is the perfect time to argue about whether Die Hard counts. The Collective – Encore in Columbia is running a Christmas in July trivia night on Tuesday, July 21 — holiday movies, carols, and cozy nostalgia served with a side of air conditioning.

It’s the most wonderful (and least seasonally appropriate) time of the year.

See You at Trivia!

That’s the lineup for July 20–26. It’s a stacked one: a Connecticut town swinging from Garth Brooks to K-Pop Demon Hunters, a New York bar somehow topping its own fandom triathlon with a four-night gauntlet, and a Christmas trivia night in the dead of summer. Whatever your fandom, there’s a table waiting for you this week.

We’ll be back next week with a fresh batch of themes. Until then, gather your team, pick a fandom, and get out there.

See you at trivia.
