Music, art, performance, and fantasy collide in a glowing, interstellar playground at Studio 51, an out-of-this-world New Year’s Eve celebration combining elements of Studio 54 and Area 51. The immersive experience with retro-stellar sensibilities, where extraterrestrial costumes are encouraged, features three different DJs spinning high-energy celestial mixes—including Fancy K (pictured), gravity-defying aerialist performances, enchanting alien pole-dancing, illuminating tarot readings, a Champagne toast, and more. Ages 21+.
$25–50, 8pm. The Looking Glass at IX Art Park, 522 Second St. SE, Ste. D. ixartpark.org
