There may have been a heat wave\u2014and Taylor Swift\u2019s wedding<\/a>\u2014in New York City, but a few hours away in Montauk, the scene was just as hot. The Fourth of July<\/a> weekend at Surf Lodge is always the it place to be, and this time around, the Hamptons hotspot went bigger than ever to ring in America\u2019s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n

For the star-studded celebrations, founder Jayma Cardoso and her team pulled out all the stops. The four-day lineup featured some of house music\u2019s biggest DJs\u2014and also Snoop Dogg<\/a>, who\u2019s never performed at the iconic East End location before. \u201cI never book based on who\u2019s trending,\u201d Cardoso told Vogue. \u201cI book artists who can create a feeling. Whether it\u2019s a huge name or someone you\u2019ve never heard of, I want every set to become a memory.\u201d<\/p>\n

The weekend\u2019s festivities, presented alongside Nylon, kicked off on Thursday, just in time for out-of-towners and city-based 9-5ers to land in for sunset sets by DJ Mei Kwok and headliner Murda Beatz. It may have been a cooler 79-degrees out in Montauk, but that didn\u2019t stop the refreshing glasses of Fros\u00e9 from flowing\u2014and copious amounts of Neutrogena sunscreen doing the rounds. On Friday, Hugel\u2014who\u2019s currently on tour\u2014also made a pit stop to keep the energy high on Fort Pond, before jetting back off to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Saturday evening was the pinnacle of the weekend. The whole beach town was buzzing with excitement\u2014with many trying to secure last minute wristbands to catch the one-and-only Snoop Dogg. \u201cI have been trying to book Snoop for years, and honestly I could not be happier that he was in town for Michael Rubin\u2019s White Party and the stars aligned,\u201d Cardoso said. The rapper came out just in time for golden hour to perform some of his greatest hits, sending the crowd wild. Guests listened to favorites like P.I.M.P, Gin and Juice, Drop It Like It\u2019s Hot, and California Gurls\u2014which went down a treat with the actual Cali girls and guys in attendance, such as Zack Bia, Anastasia Karanikolaou, Sydney Lynn Carlson, Kelsey Calamine, and Carter Gregory.<\/p>\n

Although thunderstorms were looming all weekend long, guests were spared from the rain and thunder until right after Carlita\u2019s set finished. That meant that attendees like Central Cee, Tate McRae<\/a>, Alix Earle, Arch Manning, Trey Murphy, and the entire cast of Bravo\u2019s Summer House<\/a> could dance and tuck into Popeye\u2019s chicken tender towers without a care in the world.<\/p>\n

While every Fourth of July weekend is a memorable one for the Surf Lodge team, the monumental celebration of America\u2019s 250 years of independence made it extra special. \u201cThis year, there was an extra sense of gratitude. We live in a world that can feel so divided, and for one weekend, people put their phones down, danced together, watched the sunset, and simply enjoyed being present. Those moments matter,\u201d Cardoso said. But that doesn\u2019t mean she isn\u2019t already mentally moving on to the next bash. In fact she already has a headliner in mind\u2014Central Cee<\/a>, should he be available. \u201cI was thrilled when Central Cee joined the festivities. He is another one I\u2019ve been trying to book for years. He was enjoying himself, so hopefully it will happen one day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There may have been a heat wave\u2014and Taylor Swift\u2019s wedding\u2014in New York City, but a few hours away…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216,777],"class_list":["post-746848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
