First Fridays Presents: R&B Masquerade 26'

The R&B Masquerade returns this February, and we’re bringing back everything you loved—plus even more energy, style, and unforgettable moments. This is the night where grown folks come together to dress up, vibe out, and celebrate the culture in true First Fridays fashion.

Last year, over 2,000 people came out in incredible looks, shutting down the dance floor, and reminding the city what a real R&B night feels like. This year, we’re turning it up again.

Here’s what’s in store:

• A full night of smooth R&B—classics, slow jams, neo-soul, and modern favorites
• Multiple DJs creating curated vibes across the venue
• A live visual artist capturing the energy and elegance of the night
• A featured Masquerade Fashion Show highlighting the boldest style, and creative expression from our local creatives
• Immersive moments and visual experiences throughout the space

This is the event where you show out.
Dress to impress, bring your best mask, and step into a night designed for the grown, stylish, and ready-to-have-a-good-time crowd.

Join us as we kick off 2026 with an unforgettable celebration of music, fashion, culture, and community. The R&B Masquerade is more than an event—it’s a whole experience, and we’re excited to welcome you back.
