What a night. 🎧✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first Silent Disco of the summer at Dumke Arts Plaza last Saturday! The plaza came alive with music, dancing, and great energy as guests tuned into sets from DJ Drew Deenie and DJ Khemystery and danced the night away beneath the glow of Luminous Ecologies.

A huge thank you to our DJs for bringing the beats and to everyone who came out, grabbed a pair of headphones, and helped make the evening unforgettable. We loved seeing the plaza filled with so much joy, movement, and community.

Missed this one? Don’t worry—we’ll be back on July 18 for another Silent Disco!

📍 Dumke Arts Plaza 📅 Next Silent Disco: July 18 | 9–11 p.m. 🎟 Free & open to the public
