THE PARENTS ARE AWAY PARTY

A TWO-DAY FESTIVAL OF 80's NOSTALGIA

SUMMER OF 2028

It'S 1988 AGAIN.

Remember when the biggest night-time stress was finding the right cassette tape to enhance the vibe? We’re bringing that raw, unfiltered energy back—on our own terms. The Parents are Away Party isn’t just an event; it’s a mission to reconnect. Designed for adults who still know how to play, this festival strips away daytime responsibilities to celebrate the power ballads and rock anthems that are part of our core memories.

Step into a world where your favorite bands provide the soundtrack to a living memory. Wander through a neon-lit landscape of arcade classics and a walk-in Blockbuster, or lose yourself in the outdoor games of your youth. Surrounded by the cinematic clips that wove the tapestry of our childhood, this isn't just a concert—it’s a sanctuary of the freedom and joy that defined one of our greatest decades. We’ve built more than a festival. We’ve created a space to rediscover the pure, unscripted joy of being a kid again.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

SECRET DJ SETS

Unannounced legends spinning rare 80s vinyl and deep cuts all night. No requests, just pure energy.

RETRO COCKTAILS

An open bar featuring neon martinis, electric blue mixers, and the refined nostalgia of a basement house party.

CEREAL BAR

Every sugar-coated classic you weren't allowed as a kid. Served cold, all night long, in the secret lounge.

ARCADE LOUNGE

Relive the competition. Set high scores on original 80s cabinets while our team serves the vibes.

"I forgot I had a mortgage for 6 hours."

music and actual people."
