Red Lantern: Year Of The Rabbit

The Red Lantern party is a Lunar Year Celebration that brings together different social, musical, artistic nightlife cultures together for a celebration of culture and festivities. In Chinese tradition, the lantern ( 燈籠 Dēnglóng) are the stars of the Lantern Festival, that illuminate a safe path home at night. The roundness of the lanterns symbolizes harmony and unity - key themes in the Red Lantern party. This event seeks strengthen the pride around the AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) community within NYC nightlife. Through curated displays, decorations and communication, in-conjunction with carefully selected musical artists and ambiance, this event will also bring light to the diverse and colorful culture, history and traditions of the AAPI community. Through the euphoric culture of dance music, this event will not only showcase cutting-edge sound but will also inspire a transformative experience within our Brooklyn family.
