Parties
What time do the main parties start?
Friday and Saturday's parties will start at 22:00 and end at 02:00.
Are there themes for the parties?
Of course! At Mojo Swing we love theme parties. This year we have two main themes:
- The theme for Friday's party is “The Dead 20s.” Ghostly cabaret dancers, bloodstained gangsters, wandering sailors, disgraced businessmen, and cursed artists... Come dressed in your spookiest outfit and immerse yourself in this night of jazz, glamour, and terror. 🧟🎩🖤
- The theme of Saturday's party is "Tropical Print" Palm trees, hibiscus flowers, flamingos, pineapples, and toucans will be your best allies for losing yourself in a hot, wild night full of flavor. From Hawaiian shirts to floral dresses, the more tropical, the better! 🍍🕶️🍹
Obviously, you are not obliged to follow the dress code we propose. We promise you a safe space, where you can go as you want, where you will never be judged.
Where will the secret party take place?
Obviously we can't tell you 😉
Just make sure you bring plenty of sunscreen and arrive before 11:00 at the bus stop in front of the Garbo's.
PLEASE NOTE: This activity is only included in the Tropical Pass.
