Public Disco and SLAB host outdoor day party ft. Justin Martin and NALA in Mount Pleasant on Saturday, July 20
Vancouver, B.C. – Public Disco has partnered with SLAB to produce an open-air day party on Saturday, July 20. Programming will include live DJ sets from international DJs Justin Martin and NALA. The event is 19+ and ticketed, and will run from 3 pm to 10 pm at the City Centre Artist Lodge in Mount Pleasant. The venue was transformed into a 17,000 square foot event space featuring 75 artist studios in 2022, and is slated for future re-zoning and development.
“Public Disco can’t wait to create a vibrant event space that showcases an incredible lineup of international and local DJs, food trucks, pop-up bars, and social hangout areas,” says Nickolas Collinet, Executive Director of Public Disco Society, a registered non-profit organization, and previously of Vancouver Mural Festival. “The City Centre Artist Lodge is a unique event space and creative hub in Mount Pleasant that has hosted many cultural events since 2022. We are excited to be bringing a new concept to this one of a kind site before its future re-zoning and development.”
The Public Disco x SLAB Block Party will be the first 19+ ticketed event in Public Disco’s 2024 Summer Series presented by 2 Hoots Hard Iced Tea. The event, curated by Max Ulis of Bass Coast Festival and SLAB, will be the perfect opportunity to reunite with friends and experience the festival vibe back in the city. It will take place the weekend after the annual Bass Coast Festival in Merritt, BC. International artists include perennial Bass Coast favourite Justin Martin, a key player in the San Francisco underground house music scene, as well as NALA, an indie dance, house & techno producer and singer based out of Los Angeles. Additional DJ’s include Dane (Vancouver), Just Sheila (Squamish), and G-Luve (Vancouver).
“SLAB is thrilled to partner with Public Disco to bring Justin Martin and NALA to Mount Pleasant for an epic summer party,” says Max Ulis, Founder and Producer of SLAB Events. “Attendees can expect infectious house grooves all day long and into the evening courtesy of some of the best DJs the West Coast has to offer.”
The Public Disco x SLAB Block Party will be fully licensed with pop-up bars offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, food from Good Dogs Plant Foods and Meet 2 Eat food trucks, open artist studios, and social hangout spaces. The block party is accessible, located on concrete with a gentle slope, will have wheelchair-accessible washrooms, quiet areas, and picnic tables available for seating. Good Night Out will also provide harm-reduction services on site.
