CALLING ALL DANCERS AND HOUSE HEADS!

We are taking on our most ambitious project yet. A local, open air, 8 hour, house music minifest.

To start we are bringing this event to the Blue Moon Stage out back of Waterside District with both outdoor bars being activated.

We are bringing top tier staging lighting and sound production. You’re gonna feel it in your chest and not know what to do other than DANCE!

We will have lively sections cut out for you to dwell at hosting vendors & interactive community built art that align with house music and rave culture.

We will have an educational programming section from 4-5pm teaching you how to dance to house music!

House Revival Project is a Norfolk based nonprofit whose mission is to preserve and revitalize house music art and culture through events, education initiatives, and documentation of it. This is our one year anniversary where we will be bringing you a mini festival at Waterside District Blue Moon Stage.
