What about "I will have a party next week" or "there will be a party next week"?

I learned this as: There's no language feature that denotes future tense (like a suffix), but it's done via grammar (and context).
I have to acknowledge that I'm not the right person to be debating this. Like most native speakers, my grasp of the rules often boils down to whether something "sounds" right.
