Quiet Clubbing All Ages Party at Brookfield Place

Photo: Arts Brookfield

If you haven’t heard about this semi-new phenomenon, this is a FREE event for your whole family that you won’t want to miss! Quiet Clubbing is exactly that, a “quiet” dance party where everyone wears their own pair of wireless headphones that allow you to adjust the volume as you wish and select between 3 DJ channels. Choose between Top 40 and Kids Favorites, Hip Hop and the best of 80’s, 90’s and 2k. Once you chose a station, your headphones light up in a color (blue, red or green) and you can find others to dance with that are on the same channel or dance to the beat of your own drum! Brookfield Place will transform into a high energy dance party for the afternoon.

Date: Saturday, December 10th and Sunday, December 11th  [Read more…] about Quiet Clubbing All Ages Party at Brookfield Place
