Joy Ride is a mobile dance party on wheels — bikes, scooters, roller blades — all lit up and flowing as one joyful crew through the night streets.
We ride with lights, beats, and good vibes, creating spontaneous joy for ourselves and everyone we pass.
Join the Joymaking movement that’s been spreading joy since 2017, transforming streets into a celebration of life.
✅ More energy. More dancing. More authentic connection.

After hosting hundreds of events, I’ve learned a tough lesson: Bigger is not better. When anyone can show up, the vibe gets off. Some people don’t align with the values I hold dear—sobriety, playfulness, and wellness—and that's ok. There's plenty of regular parties for them.
I prioritize quality of humans over quantity. All my events are offline, intimate, and curated. Participants must pre-register and it's limited to 50 high vibe people.
If you choose to come, you’ll see exactly why I do this.
