After 10 on weekends, the lights go down and the DJs turn it up. Lets get social! LaVida is not your ordinary bistro bar. It's what happens when an energetic, outgoing Cuban collides with a fun-loving Canadian. It's chique, chique no control + slow down Papi. It's an experience and we invite you to come spend some time with us. We want to create an atmosphere that is social above all else. Listen to live music, sing loudly, learn to play dominoes, dance... always dance. This is place where age has no number (unless you're under 19 and it's past 9 pm... sorry). It's a place to meet new friends and feel like you're on vacation. We host a variety of events, Latin dance lessons, dances and parties, team building and so much more.

*** DAY PARTY ALERT***

FOR ONE SATURDAY, YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC VIDEOS ARE TAKING OVER LA VIDA.

Toronto video DJ Playa is coming to Kingston for a Retro Video Day Party on September 26—and he’s bringing the throwbacks to the big screen.

Think hip-hop and R&B favourites, dance floor anthems, videos you haven’t seen in years, and those songs that have your whole group shouting, “I forgot about this one!” Playa has DJed at concerts featuring artists including Nelly, 112 and Dru Hill. Now he’s bringing that energy to La Vida.

Get your friends together. Pick your outfit. Come for a drink, then stay when your song comes on. This is your chance to have the night out you’ve been talking about—starting at 5 PM.

And yes, it’s a day party. You can call it a night at 9… but your $20 ticket lets you keep dancing at La Vida until 2 AM if you’re having too much fun to leave.

Saturday, September 26 • 5–9 PM
$20 day party ticket • LaVida.social
