The Resistance: Gothic Ball & Halloween Night Market
About this Event
Join The Resistance for an extraordinary Halloween celebration as we transform El Cartel Restaurant into a sanctuary of dark alternative culture. Leave the long commute to Manhattan or Brooklyn behind; the Bronx is home to the area's most authentic, welcoming goth, EBM, and darkwave community.
Step into the shadows for our inaugural Gothic Ball. Formal gothic attire and creative costumes are strongly encouraged—dress to express, elevate the vibe, and lose yourself in an atmosphere of driving rhythms and immersive energy.
The Sounds & The Scene
DJs Pagan Sounds and DJ Zephix will be taking over the decks all night long, spinning a dark, high-energy fusion of:
- Goth & Darkwave
- Industrial & Electronica
- Latin Dark Dance
- Halloween Anthems
The Night Market & Experience
