About this Event
Oct. 2nd, keep the night alive at the RVA First Fridays BLOODSUCKERS AFTER-PARTY at Black Iris, coming to life at 9:30pm (21+)
Join fellow creatures of the night as DJ RustRyu takes over Black Iris with their mix of Goth, Industrial, EDM and Dark Wave as those drawn to the dark descend upon gallery dance floor and quench their thirst with dark-themed libations from the back tavern.
