Descent Naughty or Nice
The holiday season returns to the shadows and Descent invites everyone to our annual Naughty or Nice celebration. This is our only Christmas themed night of the year and the one where tricks, treats, and dark surprises mix together under the glow of the dance floor. Every attendee gets a chance to claim a prize from our massive giveaway pool worth over five hundred dollars. Some are beautiful gothic pieces that suit the elegant and the well behaved. Others are playful joke items for those who prefer to stir trouble.
All prizes are numbered. Throughout the night we will randomly select attendees to pick one of our signature black envelopes. Inside each envelope is a number that reveals which prize you take home. No one knows what they are getting until the moment arrives. The mystery is part of the fun and the room always reacts when the envelope opens.
Music will run all night with our resident DJs. Expect goth, industrial, EBM, metal, darkwave, dark 80s, techno, and EDM. The energy will build from early mingling to a late night peak where the dance floor feels alive.
There is no dress code. Come festive or come wicked. Come in velvet or in vinyl. Come as yourself and enjoy the space the community has built. Descent has always been rooted in connection, dancing, and darkness, and this tradition brings all of that forward with a holiday twist.
