7 Unforgettable Summer Parties to Experience in DC

Experience good vibes and make new memories with friends at one of these high-energy dance parties around town this summer.

Gimme Gimme Disco: A Dance Party Inspired by ABBA

This glitter dance party at 9:30 Club transports you to the disco era, spinning high-energy tracks from ABBA, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, and several other artists from the ‘70s and ‘80s ($32.50). 

Marten Lou [Open Air]

If you’re looking for more of a music festival vibe, Flash’s sister club Berhta welcomes partiers to their spacious open-air venue Bananas for a 6 PM EDM party headlined by DJ Marten Lou ($35).

Club K-Pop

Come dressed like your favorite Black Pink, BTS, or Stray Kids artist at Union Stage’s K-pop and K-EDM night. There’s crowd sing-alongs, choreo-zones, and a ton of opportunities to wave your  fandom light sticks to the beat of the music ($21).

Everyday People

If you’d rather party while the sun is still out, an Everyday People bash is a groovy option. This summer, the touring party stops by The Bullpen in Navy Yard for an outdoor DJ day party featuring R&B, hip-hop, and more genres ($36).

Fest WKND

Attend a multi-day block party with your besties at Fest Wknd. Each day has its own theme so music-lovers can enjoy live R&B hits, hip-swaying soca, ’00s throwbacks, and more from six artists and 12 dee-jays over a span of three days ($12+).

Moombahton Massive

There’s a late-night reggaeton-house music takeover at Culture this summer. Fans of moombahton mixes can two-step to the Latin rhythms played live by DJs Dave Nada and Tittsworth Mathias ($28).

Amelie Lens

Nu Androids is known for bringing some of the best techno and electronic music producers to town. This summer, Belgian producer Amelie Lens—the creator of heart-thumping songs “Feel It” and “Higher”—arrives in DC for a Nu Androids jam session at A.I. Warehouse ($50).
