CRAVE - A Halloween Night of Flesh, Fire, and Forbidden Hunger - Featuring DJ Spazatron

The only thing scarier than the dark is how good it feels!

Make sure you read and understand our [Consent Guidelines and Event Rules](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LJ2TQ0kHy5TMIwVDo_myAuzMGwnF5Wdb181kTL-R9hA/edit?usp=sharing) before buying a ticket.

The veil is thin, and every pulse beats like a summons. Tonight, the dark doesn’t hide you - it wants you. It wants your breath, your body, your hunger.

Outside, the courtyard glows with candlelight and fog, where whispered confessions dance with the smoke, and monsters flirt beneath the moonlight. No one pretends to be good anymore.

Inside, the bass rolls through the walls like a twisted heartbeat, and shadows sway with sweat and hunger. Hands find skin, mouths find mouths, and every shiver, moan, and scream feeds the night. Bring what you drink, share what you dare - nothing here stays bottled for long.

This is CRAVE - a ritual of desire, a communion of the obscene. Costumes are optional and inhibition is forbidden. Before dawn - you’ll taste something you can’t name… and you’ll want more.

CRAVE provides an unique environment that enables those who identify as queer, bisexual, pansexual, trans, cis, straight, mono, poly, swinger, kinky, vanilla, lifestylers, experimenters, hedonists and those of all genders and no gender the opportunity to develop connections, and build community. CRAVE is about coming together to have fun; to dance, play, grow and build; Come and be part of a growing and thriving consent-conscious community.

The Venue

The backdrop to your hair-raising and lip-biting Halloween will be an eclectic, sexy and well established party venue in Oakland. The venue features distinct, indoor and outdoor play/social areas, multiple restrooms, a coat-check and several play stations. AfterDark returns to Oakland after a 2 year hiatus to support the venue's fundraising efforts to buy their space - and we're going to do this by throwing the best Halloween party on this side of the Bay! You've loved our events at Stopgap and Paradox, come enjoy them in the East Bay for creepiest of Halloween parties.

We’re proud to support our friends at this popular community venue as they work to secure their forever home! This iconic location is working hard to raise funds to purchase and rehabilitate the building they’ve long called home. We’ve hosted countless pop-ups there over the years and we’ll be back this Halloween weekend for two epic parties! If MC has ever been part of your story, now’s the time to give back and help keep this vital space thriving. To donate, click here.
