Silent Disco at the Arts District Brewing Co! - LA

Silent Disco at the Arts District Brewing Co! - LA

Arts District Brewing Company (map)

The best dancing in town, every third Saturday of the month at the ADBC.

Our special headphones have three channels - each one with a live DJ spinning a different genre of music. You can switch back and forth whenever you want, so you'll be able to pick your favorite to find the perfect vibe, no matter what's going on! And as always: you control your own volume. You can show off your moves, you can sit and chill - the night is yours! This is the perfect event to get introduced to silent disco and our community, or return to rage like the rockstar you are.

The brewery's spacious outdoor patio is our primary dancefloor, but we’ll have the run of the entire complex, so be sure to make time for cornhole, axe-throwing, arcade games, and a full bar with food menu!

This is an age 21+ only event, cause we're at a brewery. There’s limited paid parking in the neighborhood, so we recommend taking a rideshare or the blue or yellow Metro line to the Little Tokyo/Arts District Station down the block.

Tickets will also be available at the door!

This year's Floating away fast, but we've still got plenty planned for you! In August, we're making our way across the river to downtown Brooklyn for Birds of a Feather Float 2gether. This month, Jacob Ryan Smith and Tucker Stampen have crafted a summer sequel to set the world ablaze, with a soundtrack courtesy of August Bagg, Tucker, and Wilson Plonk & Jake. Each event this month is led by Jake & Tucker, except on Sunday the 24th, when you’ll have Wilson at 6:00pm, Tucker at 7:00pm, and Jake at 8:00pm.

 
 
Saturday 8/16, 8:00pm

Reserve ten or more tickets to one event, and you’ll get each ticket at the lowest possible price. To buy group tickets to an announced or future event, fill out our contact form or email us directly at float@whatthefloat.com.

Not sure what you’re getting yourself into? Let us explain a little.

Each night, you’ll be able to take advantage of Floatcheck, our mobile coat and bag check service throughout the night. Expect the event to last about three hours, with two intermissions at bars that would prefer you pay in cash, and an outdoor afterparty. Check-in only runs thirty minutes, so do not delay! If you are late you may be left behind and may not be able to catch up.

Dress to be true to you. Wear comfortable shoes in which you can dance and run and climb and jump on even and slippery terrain. Please bring as little as possible, as Floatcheck space is more limited this year. We'll equip you with glowing headsets, and lead you on the dance party adventure of a lifetime.


The fine print: The horrors persist, so all tickets are FULLY REFUNDABLE, no questions asked, with advance notice; if you are in any way concerned about your well-being, we would very much prefer you stayed home. Just let us know so we let someone else in; these events are small and they will sell out. This is an age 21+ only event.
