Resist Silence at a Silent Disco!
2025-06-05 20:00
Dance to your own beat at the Eastport Democratic Club silent disco!
Brought to you by Annapolis Pride and the EDC, a silent disco is a dance party where people dance to music broadcast through wireless headphones, rather than a traditional speaker system. Here’s how it works and why it’s unique:

Each participant wears a pair of headphones that receive music electronically.
There will be three channels playing different playlists or songs at once. You can switch channels on your headphones to choose the music you prefer.
The headphones will have LED lights that change color based on the channel, so you can see who’s listening to the same music you are.
From the outside, the event looks quiet—people are dancing, but there’s little to no external sound.

Enjoy a memorable experience watching a crowd dance in silence! This event is for those over 21 years-old.
Tickets are required, and the price of your ticket includes headphone rentals. You can purchase tickets here.
