House Music, Drag, & Burlesque Galore for House of Yes' Memorial Weekend Line-up

May 27, 2016 -

Milli Encarnacion

House of Yes is more than a venue: it's a performance art space that fully immerses its crowd between its high ceilings and mosaicked walls, taking nightlife and entertainment to the next level. The New York Times regards the event space as the New Yorker's answer "for those raised on the clubs of the '70s, '80s, and even '90s,"  and upon one's first weekend gallivant within, it's easy to see why.

House of Yes kicks off Memorial Day Weekend tonight with an incredible four-day event line-up. Highlights include their Sunday night Summer Sessions dance party featuring house maestro Sander Kleinenberg and the inaugural, no-cover YES Memorial Day BBQ Pig Roast.

House of Yes re-opened in the best way possible at the start of 2016, right off the Jefferson stop in Bushwick. The quirky performance space has grown to be infamous for its eclectic range of performances, ranging from aerial and cabaret to circus and fire-breathing. In addition to its performance art antics, House of Yes plays host to world-renowned DJs, such as Damian Lazarus and Kill Frenzy, with an impeccable sound system and highly illustrative visuals. A full-service bar, restaurant, outdoor lounge, and carefully bedazzled bathrooms have helped the transformative space become a prominent stop on the Brooklyn underground nightlife scene.
