Whether you’re single, paired off, or connected for eternity, come enjoy Date Night: A Night in New York City. Inspired by the energy, charm, and variety of the city that never sleeps, Date Night is an evening of games, interactive experiences, themed activities, and prizes—all designed to encourage connection in a fun, low-pressure environment.
Participants will engage in experiences tailored to their relationship status—single, attached, or married—with opportunities to meet new people, support developing relationships, and strengthen established partnerships. Activities throughout the night include speed dating, a matchmaking booth, couples line dancing, carnival games, pickleball, bubble battles, crafts such as painting, bracelet making, and cellphone charms, along with a photo booth and dance floor to end the night.
Enjoy New York–style refreshments, including pizza, hot dogs, cheesecake, and lemonade, while exploring everything the event has to offer. Participants will also have opportunities to win exciting prizes throughout the evening, including a Fujifilm Instax camera and other giveaways.
