Hello again, Lancaster! You were perfect in June, so Mary Ann Pianka returns to her beloved hometown with round two of the bespoke event you never knew you needed: a silent disco dance adventure!

We'll walk and dance as a group around the neighborhood, listening to music in the provided special headphones. The music matches our surroundings as we pass them in real time, guiding you through an immersive odyssey! And we’ll take breaks at local bars along the way, so it's part dance party, part curated adventure, part bar crawl!

Float is a safe space for our community members to celebrate themselves, explore their city, and above all: experience JOY. (Remember joy?!) All are welcome. Dance it alllll out, or just walk along and vibe: the night is yours! Have your own journey, or party with friends. Just don't miss it, because these are the nights to remember.

TO HAVE THE MOST FUN:

• Arrive as early as 7:30 pm to meet the community and enjoy some bevvies! But the music begins and WE DEPART AT 8:30, so don't be late!

• Please let us know if you need a discount code to attend. We will never allow capitalism to stand in the way of your joy.

• Sensible shoes required. Lewks appreciated, but optional! Wear whatever best enables your movement and makes you feel awesome! We also recommend you carry as little as possible, so break out those fanny packs, babes!

• The night will end within easy walking distance of where it began, so parking anywhere in downtown Lancaster will work!

(Not sure what you’re getting yourself into? That's understandable! You're so brave! It's beyond worth it; Let us explain.)

The fine print:

This is an age 21+ only event. All tickets are FULLY REFUNDABLE, no questions asked, with advance notice. COVID and various other horrors persist, and if you are in any way concerned about your health, we would very much prefer you stayed home! You DO NOT need to buy the event insurance, just let us know so we can let someone else in; these events are small and they will sell out!

On September 20th-28th, we’re staying in Brooklyn for our penultimate Floating Dance Party of 2025!  Kuppi Jessop is leading us back to Williamsburg for the first time since 2018, and we couldn't be more excited to show you why What Floats Around Comes Around. Your soundtrack is provided by Eric Peters, Carolina Miranda, and Kuppi, and you’ll be led by Kuppi at early waves and Carolina at late ones.

Individual tickets go on sale Monday at 5:00pm. Before then you can still reserve ten or more tickets to one event, and you’ll get each ticket at the lowest possible price. To buy group tickets to an announced or future event, fill out our contact form or email us directly at float@whatthefloat.com.

Not sure what you’re getting yourself into? Let us explain a little.

Each night, you’ll be able to take advantage of Floatcheck, our mobile coat and bag check service throughout the night. Expect the event to last about three hours, with two intermissions at bars that would prefer you pay in cash, and an outdoor afterparty. Check-in only runs thirty minutes, so do not delay! If you are late you may be left behind and may not be able to catch up.

Dress to be true to you. Wear comfortable shoes in which you can dance and run and climb and jump on even and slippery terrain. Please bring as little as possible, as Floatcheck space is more limited this year. We'll equip you with glowing headsets, and lead you on the dance party adventure of a lifetime.

The fine print: The horrors persist, so all tickets are FULLY REFUNDABLE, no questions asked, with advance notice; if you are in any way concerned about your well-being, we would very much prefer you stayed home. Just let us know so we let someone else in; these events are small and they will sell out. This is an age 21+ only event.
