Where tater tots are a mindset, dance is a love language, and everyone is hot in their own weird way. Tickets limited. Don't be an idiot.

An Interactive, Experiential Throwback Night

Break out the moon boots, practice your solo, and prepare to dance like no one’s watching (unless they are—then dance harder).
This Napoleon Dynamite–themed dance party is an immersive, joy-fueled night designed to let your inner child come all the way out.

Expect a high-energy dance floor with throwback jams, absurd confidence, and a crowd that understands that awkward is a superpower.

✨ What’s Included:

🏆 Costume Contest (Napoleon, Deb, Pedro, Uncle Rico… or your own weird legend)

We will have a local DJ spinning, all the nostalgia and a special surprise performance that you don't want to miss!

📸 Glamour Shots Station & Photo Booth for iconic memories

🎨 Movie-themed art activities & interactive experience stations

🥔 Snack bar featuring a TATER TOT BAR (because obviously)

🍻 BYOB (21+)

This is not just a party—it’s a playful, participatory experience where nostalgia meets creativity and self-expression. Come solo or bring your crew. Show up awkward. Leave legendary.

Vote for dancing.

Vote for fun.
