The Black Party New York 2023

The Black Party New York 2023

Considered by many as the Father of all large circuit events, THE BLACK PARTY® is one of Gay New York’s most attended, longest running and highly anticipated events. With more than 5,000 attendees it remains one of the biggest gay dance parties in the world. It is known and respected world wide for cutting edge productions, innovative staging, superstar international DJs, world class performers and notorious “strange live acts.”

Black Party attendees are encouraged to “dress heavy”  Saturday night, thousands of men (and a very few select women) in acres of leather and miles of steel chain will check their inhibitions at the door and converge to soak in an atmosphere of unapologetic, testosterone-infused hedonism.

Cameras are not allowed inside the party, where porn stars will showcase their various talents onstage, clothing will come off, and party goers will publicly maul each other on the dance floor, in the bathrooms, and anywhere else that’s dark and available. One thing is guaranteed: once you step into the Black Party, you are officially not in Kansas anymore.

Expect strange and eccentric live acts, naughty carnival games, adult film stars, fetish art, fashion and all kinds of sexy eye candy.
