The party is this Friday night fortunately my parents have given permission for me to

go.

How should this sentence be punctuated?

The party is this Friday night, fortunately my parents have given permission for me to go.

There should be a comma after the word night and before the word fortunately.

Explanation:

The comma connects the first part of the sentence to the last part. The comma creates a small break in the sentence and allows the reader to catch their breath while separating the two ideas from the sentence.
