Let's ditch the politics for one night, make some new friends and help support local families!
About this Event

Friends - we live in the DMV. We know what that means. Every other conversation revolves around...well, you know.

So, how about we give ourselves one night off to just enjoy each other's company, make some new friends, and help those in need?

The format of this party is simple:

  • Everyone will get a name badge, and is encouraged to write their name and favorite place in the world as an icebreaker. Bali. Greece. Patagonia. Cleveland. You name it.
  • (If it's actually Cleveland, first round's on us. Least we can do.)
  • We'll have a list of banned political words and topics (all related to the comings and goings of 2026), and if anyone breaks the rules by mentioning them, one of the organizers rings the ridiculously loud cowbell and it's an invitation for everyone to give an extra donation to the Capital Area Food bank. We'll have a large QR code on standby to make it easy and maybe even an old school cash bucket too.
  • It'll be irreverent, fun and all for a good cause.

Door prizes too. Because why not?

Cover is $15 which is non-refundable and will entirely go to the Capital Area Food Bank. If you register and can't make it, at least you did your good deed for the week and local families who need the help will benefit. Early bird is $10 in advance, and $20 at the door.

Our group is about creating joyful experiences for ourselves and leaving a ripple of positive juju everywhere we go. If this is your vibe as well, we'd love you to join Random Joyfest and be a part of other events.

Let's have a great night for a great cause.

Can't wait to see you all on May 7th!
