8:30 PM - Midnight | COMMUNITY NIGHT & SILENT DISCO

A silent disco, also known as a silent rave, headphone party, or silent party, is a dance party where people listen to music through wireless headphones instead of speakers. We'll have three DJs that are broadcast to the headphones on different channels. You can then choose their preferred channel by adjusting the settings on their headphones.

Community Night activities will start at 8:30 PM - think Open Mic and Trivia - and the doors to the disco will open at 9:00 PM sharp.
