from the promoter’s listing

Attention campers! This is not a drill.

On Saturday, August 1, Camp Garden officially opens its gates for the first Garden Party of the summer season (it was too hot for us in June and July).

Inspired by the annual migration of the gay populace to summer campgrounds around the world, we're hosting our own gathering of the minds and survival skills. Whether you're swimming in Whole Festival's radioactive hot dog water this year, surviving on protein bars and granola at Honcho, or skipping both because you can't bear to skip a day of skincare + hot showers, Camp Garden is your last chance for a summertime escape. All the community, chaos, and spirit at a FRACTION of the cost!

Come kick off the August month with an evening at Libera in the Ace Hotel New York, featuring sounds from your resident camp counselors: heauxtep (@fakeheauxs), @ron.ld, @wgrden, ALI IRL (@ali__irl), + more TBA along with some very special surprises, limited edition merch drops, & more!

No bad attitudes, no racism, no transphobia, no xenophobia. Yes kindness, yes PLUR. Homophobia (gay guy-specific) TBD.

    the whole biography
    With a soft spot for the intimate dance-floor, he’s carved out a space in nightlife with a distinctly DIY state of mind, made possible by the support of local selectors and devoted dancers alike at spaces including Bossa Nova Civic Club, Good Room, Jupiter Disco, Elsewhere, Marble Bar. His recent party series Soundcheck has filled rooms from Jupiter to Bossa, and will soon take form as a monthly radio series for 8Ball Radio, channeling more experimental and downtempo tones.
