The New Year’s Eve Decision is a gong show. Toronto doesn’t know how many bars and clubs it has until the NYE party lists come out.
Lucky for you, we have a simple decision-making test for at least one of them: FIVE+ NYE, a forward-thinking music experience from the hearts and minds of SummerDaze, Lovelution, and Bespoke.Experience.
FIVE+ NYE MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF:
You hug your friends. Not everybody hugs. But those that do are awesome, and probably have a lot in common with the people at Lovelution, whose foundational values are radical inclusion and self-expression. Translation: Everybody is welcome (and hugs are encouraged).
You fancy yourself an explorer. This event is deeply Amazon-themed event and is housed in a 20,000 sq ft warehouse at Queen and Dufferin that’s closing down soon to get turned into condos. That’s how big it is. Explore away.
A variety of music turns you on. From hip-hop to disco to the the dance floor standbys of house and techno and more, a variety of local and international artists will be curating vibes from start to finish.
Gourmet food likes you and you like it. Included in the ticket price is this delectable menu. Empanadas and paella > stuffed chicken breast and bar nuts. Free from 9-11pm.
You love to dance. “To see someone dancing, fully present in the moment and unconcerned by those watching, is to see unconditional love.” says Michael Sanders of Lovelution. You can show your unconditional love until 5am.
You like to feel good. As if dancing and gourmet food don’t make your body feel good enough, there are heal&feel pleasures galore, from massage chair service to sound therapy and meditation.
Art inspires you. There’ll be tons of local art and live painting. Basically, the whole space will be one big art installation.
Value For Money is important. All this from 8pm to 5am for $30 Tier 1 ($40 Tier 2). If that’s not value, I’ll eat the black space around this post.
I’ll be going with my closest friends. If this party’s for you too, I’ll see you there (come say hi and hug).
FIVE+ NYE: Get involved or learn more.
