Are you one of those New Yorkers who never leaves the city, but has a thirst for exotic night life?
You're not alone, hence the myriad of fun, weird, and twisted events going down pretty much every day in this fair city.
Very few of them are based on the lunar cycle and Southeast Asia, though.
Long story short, back in 1985, a bunch of party animals began raging on the Thai island of Ko Pha Ngan under the full moon, and those parties have developed their unfettered ubiquity amongst ravers, ex-pats, and travel bums.
Fast forward to 2010 and teleport to New York City, and you'll find the first annual Full Moon Fest inspired by the original on the other side of the globe.
Coming up this Saturday, Aug 1st at the Brooklyn Mirage is the 5th anniversary celebration of Matte Project's Full Moon Fest.
mileenddeli We are excited to be working with the crew @matteprojects at the #fullmoonfest this Saturday! Come try our crazy hot dogs - #fullmoondog with Thai papaya slaw, #sweetheat with jalapeño maple cream cheese and crispy onions, and the #reubendog with Swiss, special sauce and kraut for all those who crave some #deliBond #foodporn #party #NYC #Brooklyn
It's been sold out four years running, so be sure to snag a ticket ASAP if you're interested in dancing on the beach to an international lineup of DJ's and bands.
Downer for the younger crowd, this is a 21+ event.
