This year, we’re doing it Mixtape style.This is a cozy-to-joyful gathering created for queer women and sapphics 35+ who want something more intentional than New Year’s Eve and more celebratory than staying home. Come solo or with friends. Arrive early, arrive late, stay all afternoon, or just drop in — this is a day meant to flow.✨ The VibeThe afternoon will unfold in two chapters:12:30–2:30 PMA relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with a softer playlist — perfect for conversation, settling in, reconnecting, and easing into the year.2:30–6:00 PMDJ VVS takes over, lifting the energy into a full day party — dancing, celebrating, and welcoming the year together.☕ Food & DrinksIncluded with Your TicketWe’ll have brunch-style bites available throughout the early part of the event, catered by Linc’s Café Catering — meant for grazing, sharing, and lingering (not a full plated brunch).Included bites will feature small, bite-size servings such as:Tea sandwichesFocacciaWhipped goat cheese cups with prosciutto & honeyTiramisu cups And possibly a few additional itemsThis offering is designed to feel generous but light — something to enjoy while you connect, sip, and settle in.Available for PurchaseSpark Social will be open throughout the event with:A full coffee barBoozy and non-boozy cocktailsAdditional food items available for purchase, including paninis and grilled cheeseCome hungry, linger, sip something warm (or bubbly), and make yourself comfortable.? Vision Board Station (Optional)For anyone feeling reflective or creative, there will be a casual vision board station available throughout the day. No facilitation, no pressure — participate as much or as little as you’d like.? Dress Code: Dress for the Year You WantI’m Brazilian American and wanted to bring a bit of my culture into this gathering. In Brazilian New Year’s tradition, people wear specific colors to symbolize what they’re calling in for the year ahead (traditionally worn at midnight on New Year’s Eve). You’re invited to lean into this tradition — or interpret dress for the year you want in your own way.Color Meanings:White (Branco): Peace, renewal, spiritual cleansingYellow (Amarelo): Wealth, prosperity, successRed (Vermelho): Love, passion, romancePink (Rosa): Love, tenderness, connectionGreen (Verde): Health, hope, growthBlue (Azul): Calm, harmony, emotional balanceOrange (Laranja): Creativity, confidence, professional successPurple (Roxo/Violeta): Inspiration, intuition, spiritual connectionThat said — dress for the year you want.Sporty year? Athleisure.Soft year? Cozy layers.Bold year? Dress to the nines.There’s no wrong interpretation.?
