(All Ages) Brand new for Pride 2025 - come dance under the stars, at your own volume. Rainbow Rave is our first-ever silent disco, designed for folks who want a fun, low-pressure, and sensory-friendly way to move and connect. Whether you're a big dancer, a gentle swayer, or a curious observer, this all-ages dance party is for you. At check-in, you’ll receive sanitized wireless headphones that let you dial into the DJ’s beats and adjust your own volume. From the outside, it’s a peaceful beach under the night sky. Inside your headphones? Pure Pride dance floor.
