Friday Night Rave

We’re switching things up with the debut of the Friday Night Rave featuring a killer lineup of anime DJs from Club Kaiju. Starting at 8:30 p.m. and spinning into the early morning hours (or late night) of 2 a.m., Kenzie Black, Kawaii Club, Reno Loves You and C-Vince will amp the crowds with their enthralling mixes, each DJ incorporating their own unique style and some of your favorite anime series and characters. Expect eccentric lights, an illuminating dance floor, good vibes, and most of all, expect a good time as we go into Comicpalooza weekend.
