September is now upon us and that means one thing only: the end of the season is near. Although the season and the clubs officially close everything out in October, this month we see the individual parties begin to come to an end making September jam-packed with over 50 closing parties.
That being said, with over one closing party a day this month, you might be feeling overwhelmed and indecisive on what parties to attend. No need to worry as that is why we are here. We have done the dirty work for you and compiled a list of this month's hottest closing parties club-by-club so you know what to get yourself into.
