Music from DJ MELINA XO

Her sets resonate with audiences, offering fresh experiences every time she takes the stage. She has opened for luminaries like Zedd, Sean Ross, and Blaq Pages. and has graced the stages of Soho House, The Petersen Museum, the 100Theives Compound, San Francisco Pride and more.

Housekeeping:
This event is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community, with a focus on those who work in the service industry at large. If you're not in service but you feel like partying on a Monday, we'll see you there too!
Allies are welcome to attend with LGBTQ+ friends or partners, but we encourage our allies to remember that "showing up" means more than just taking up space!
