Thrill-seekers also were able to kick off summer with Foxwoods’ lineup of unforgettable adventures, including the Highflyer Zipline, Monza World Class Karting and recently opened Topgolf Swing Suite. The excitement continued as the Foxwoods Broadway Series brought Kinky Boots to the Fox Theater for a three-day stint. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sammy Hagar performed a range of classic hits and music from his new album, while Bill Maher brought the laughs with his unflinchingly honest stand-up comedy. May also saw the start of Liquid Sundays to kick off summer, bringing back the Northeast’s only outdoor, Vegas-style pool party complete with a live DJ, private cabanas, beer pong, corn hole and more. Coming up in June, guests can enjoy an EDM-themed Electric Pool Party with music by DJ Fresh.
