Find A VP Debate Viewing Party Near You

The one and only vice presidential debate of the 2016 election is less than a week away, so it's time to start figuring out where you're going to watch it. Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mike Pence will be facing off on Tuesday, Oct. 4, and there are plenty of options for finding a vice presidential debate viewing party near you.

If you want to be around people who support the same candidate as you, then consider checking out Clinton and Trump's campaign websites to see if they have any debate viewing parties listed as events near you. The events page on Clinton's website allows you to search for events by city, state, or zip code, and there's an as-of-now empty RSVP page on Trump's website for a debate watching party, so keep checking that for updates.

Looking at Facebook and using a search engine are also a good options. You can search for local organizations that may be holding viewing parties, both partisan and bipartisan. For instance, a quick Google search revealed plenty of options around the country, including at bars, restaurants, and even community centers. If you're a college student, consider checking if your school is hosting an event. You never know, there could be free food and drinks involved.

If you don't feel like venturing out into the world, why not throw your own party? The League of Women Voters has a debate-watching party guide you can use if you're not entirely confident in your hosting skills. And don't worry if you don't have cable; there are many ways to watch the debate. In fact, some may say too many ways to watch the debate.
