Time Travelers Ball

A zany club experience with creative live performances & dance music that travels through time.

Sat, Dec 7 | 5-10pm @ The Stranger (Columbus Circle)

For the festival kids that are all grown up, we invite you to The Time Travelers Ball, an early, time-warping dance music experience in collaboration with The Stranger.

This event isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about re-igniting your sense of imagination, something that is all too easy to lose as we get older.

It will be a night full of zany live performances, immersive side quests, and DJs taking you on a creative electronic musical journey that goes back in time as the night goes on.

For those who haven’t been, The Stranger is a wacky, one-of-a-kind club experience created by the owners of The Box.

We went a few months ago and our minds were blown. This is seriously one of the most unique nightlife experiences in NYC – both in what the space offers & the creativity of its’ performances.

Our only problem with it was that we had to be out until 4am and were the oldest ones there. Lucky for you, Matinee is solving both of those issues so you can enjoy it at a more reasonable hour w/ a crowd of grown party people.

I want to tell you everything, but won’t because it’ll be all the more magical as a surprise. If you really need more details, you can read this Time Out article.
