When the Mayor of Hartford, Arunan Arulampalam, called into the morning show with Christine Lee and Salt, things got real tense for a second. They thought, Uh oh, what did we say? Are we in trouble? But instead of a scolding, the Mayor had a surprise that no one saw coming: He’s throwing Christine a full-blown DIVORCE PARTY. Yes. In public. In style. In the heart of the city. And it’s going to be legendary.
It’s called “Single in the City” and it’s happening on Saturday, June 14th from 2 to 5 PM on Pratt Street in Hartford. Hosted by 96.5 TIC, Pratt Street, and the Hartford Chamber of Commerce, this isn’t your average “I’m finally free” gathering. It’s a downtown takeover celebrating fresh starts, freedom, and fierce energy.
The vibe? Think empowerment meets party. There’ll be a live DJ set from Mark the Shark spinning all the anthem-worthy breakup tracks and confidence-boosting bangers. Enjoy specialty cocktails crafted for the occasion, and don’t miss out on a chance to smash some stuff in the Smash Room—yes, there will be a real one, because healing can be loud (and incredibly satisfying).
There’s also space for real connection, with advocates and advisors on hand offering support, resources, and encouragement for anyone navigating their own new chapter such as event sponsor and Christine's divorce attorney, the offices of Rome, Clifford, Katz & Koerner. Whether you’re single, separated, or just a sucker for a great party, this event is for YOU.
Local favorites like Vaughan’s Public House, Hartford Flavor Company, and Urban Lodge Brewing will be serving up drinks and bites, while Hartford Prints brings the retail therapy with empowering merch that’ll make you feel seen, strong, and totally fab.
So come celebrate Christine’s big glow-up moment—and maybe your own—because sometimes the best day of your life… is the one where you say goodbye and dance into something new.
