Manhattan is the place to be at holiday time, but it doesn't have to be all noise and chaos. Music fans will enjoy the hip quiet disco party scene at this lineup of events hosted by Quiet Events Silent Disco. When guests arrive at the venue of their choice, they’ll receive a pair of special wireless glowing headphones. With the flip of a switch they can select between up to three DJs who spin different genres of music—from holiday music to Hip-Hop, Top 40, Soulful House, throwback tunes from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and beyond. Guests can adjust the volume to their own preferred level. The headsets boast a bright color LED light that alerts other party-goers to which channel they're listening to. Revelers can dance along with those in the crowd who are listening to the same tunes. It’s a super social event; just lower the volume or take the headphones off to spark up a conversation.
