There’s always time for a good disco. And ringing in a new year seems like the perfect excuse. While there may be scores of parties celebrating New Years’ Eve in Portland, we’ve got our eyes on a Studio 54-themed disco party happening at the Holocene in Northeast Portland.
The Holocene is a great spot for a themed dance night, and this New Years’ Eve will be no different. The dance club proudly introduced its celebratory midnight party, STUDIO 23 a few weeks back. Inspired by the world-famous Studio 54, with a modern twist, Portland’s finest will come together for one night only to ring in 2023 with a celebration of house and disco music through the ages.
The DJ booth will feature sounds from PNW legend Cee White, a special never before seen set from the Bee Gee Boys (Jon Lewis DeMarquez, Sonwell, Lassi), and a B2B set from Seattle heroes Grooving For Good, which amplifies hope and resilience within communities through music-driven experiences.
Your night will be hosted by the iconic duo Sonny & Cher (aka C0smic J0ke and Jeff Bond) as they guide your evening with hourly costume contests, dance-offs, and prizes. Come dressed to the nines in your favorite disco fit and be sure to drop by the custom photo booth, explore live art installations, try a specialty-themed cocktail, and dance until the late hours with best friends.
The event is curated by the Holocene and local event promoters Ibiza Boys, Mothership, and Grooving For Good. Additionally, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Friends of Noise, a non-profit supporting creative youth in Portland. This way, spending a New Years’ Eve in Portland drinking and dancing with friends will also do some good!
