Welcoming back DJ Mike G!
19+ event.
The world has gone to hell, so let's party! On Saturday June 6th, 2026 from 9pm-1am. We will once again be taking over the ballroom on the 3rd floor of the Best Western Plus, Chocolate Lake Hotel Halifax (250 St Margarets Bay Rd, Halifax NS).
Come help us celebrate our 10th annual post-apocalyptic costume party and our 138th event to date! The world has gone to hell so let's party! Dress as if you have survived the end of the world and you are heading to the last watering hole in a decaying city to party.
Dress as a known fictional character or become a creature of your own creation! Zombies, floods, volcanoes, viruses, asteroids, global warming or nuclear bombs. There's a lot of ways the world could have ended and we're going to party like we survived them all!
Come and celebrate the end of the world with this epic event! As for normal there is no enforced dress code but not putting any effort into your outfit at all will definitely make you stand out.
Now although there is no dress code, it is strongly suggested that you dress in theme or some type of alternative wear is suggested. If you don't know what to wear then black clothing is strongly suggested but again try to dress in something you would consider sexy and edgy. Dress sexy and cool, cause it does get hot and sweaty in there. Due to the nature of the venue, public decency rules do apply.
Drink pricing for the bar is as follows:
Domestic Beer, Well Shots $7.00
Premium Liquor. & Liqueurs $8.00
Imported Beers, Coolers $8.00
House Wine $8.00
Soft Drinks $4.00
Cash only bar. The hotel has an ATM in the lobby but we have emptied it at every Nightshade event so come prepared!
Please drink responsibly.
Coat check service will be $3 for the night which includes in and out privileges for one hanger of clothes and/or one bag. There will be a self-coat check area but this will be not be monitored and is at use at your own risk.
We will be adhering to all government regulations at our Nightshade events. In addition extra cleaning procedures will be put into place for both the venue and for our own equipment as well of course there is plenty soap and water in the washrooms. Valid government identification (19+) is required to gain entry.
If you are sick please stay home! We have done away with our regular 'no refunds' policy and replaced it with a full credit of your ticket price. If you inform us that you will not be in attendance prior to us opening the doors at 9pm than we will issue you a full credit for one of our future events. Please check with the hotel for their cancellation policies.
If for any reason we are forced to reduce capacity or cancel this event, causing you to not be able to attend then you will be issued a full credit of your ticket price for one of our future events. You may also purchase optional Cancellation Insurance for $1 per ticket which would see the full price of your ticket ($25 ticket or $28 ticket price w/coatcheck) refunded to you if you can not attend the event for any reason, so long as you contact us about the cancellation prior to the start of the event.
The Nightshade dance floor will be a flood of bodies as DJ Mike G, is stepping up and taking over the Nightshade sound system! Teaming up with Nightshade for the second time on Saturday June 6th, DJ Mike G is excited to bring his style of Party Rocking to The Tower Hotel and help make our 10th annual Wasteland a Night to Remember!
About DJ Mike G: From humble beginnings as a strip club DJ in Dartmouth, to touring Atlantic Canada opening for acts like Steve Aoki, Ian Carey, and DJ Crunch, DJ Mike G’s career has spanned almost two decades and included performances in every major Nightclub on Canada’s East Coast.
DJ Mike G’s resume reads like a ‘Best Of’ for Halifax Nightlife - residencies have included The Dome, Rumours, Toothy Moose, Pogue Fado, The Pint, The Bitter End, The Rodeo, and too many others to list.
Nightshade is actively on the search for local DJ talent to perform at our events. So please reach out with suggestions of amazing Halifax DJs you would love to see on stage at our kinky costume parties!
There will be some hardcore equipment brought in for those who know how to use it. For everyone's safety it will be well lit and monitored throughout the night by our DMs.
This is a no camera event with the exception of event photographers, please message to apply to shoot for the event.
Hotel rooms for the Nightshade Wasteland event are at a special rate of $219 but only until the cut of date Wednesday May 6th, 2026. To reserve a room in our block you must call and say you are with the group rate Wasteland. There is a chance to still book in our block after this date as well so make the call and see if they can squeeze your late ass into our group of rooms!
Booking with our Block is ideal as your room will be surround by other people attending the party. It will thus be easier to connect with others and you will receive fewer noise complaints than if you were to book a room elsewhere in the hotel. Nightshade does not profit from room rental, so if you can find a better deal do what is best for you.
Note that complaints against you, noise or otherwise, may lead to you being banned from future events as Nightshade wants to keep in good standing with the hotel.
