Dark Masquerade NYE: Circus Variety Show + Party

Celebrate New Year's Eve 2025 at Dark Events’ 2nd NeoMasquerade themed Circus Variety Show and Party.

In a world where many are afraid to embrace their dark side, we invite you to a night where we celebrate the beauty in darkness. Come dressed in your modern interpretation of a dark masquerade and step into 2026 celebratring with us. 

DARK Events returns to Fluid510 for an enchanting evening of sultry performances, masked characters, and a magnificent midnight moment followed by a dance party. The event will take over the entire club, creating 3 distinct environments. The night begins with an ambient lounge environment with roaming characters, interactive activities and an upstairs dance room. The Main Show features aerial acrobatic performances, bondage ballet, sideshow, burlesque, circus and more. The show concludes with a countdown to 2026 & celebration dance party. You can add-on to your experience by selecting to indulge in an aerial champagne service with our in-house troupe, The Dragonettes.

We invite you to bring your dark side into 2026 with our Dark Masquerade NYE celebration. We have one question for you…

What’s your dark secret behind the mask?
