🔥 KINGSTON—THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE DAY PARTY. 🔥

Toronto-area powerhouse DJ Playa is taking over The Loft at La Vida for a full VIDEO DANCE PARTY—playing the biggest music videos and dance-floor anthems from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s on our giant screen!

DJ Playa brings a serious résumé. He’s performed at concerts featuring Nelly, 112, Sean Kingston, LMFAO, Dru Hill, Lost Boyz and more, toured across Canada and the U.S. with Cat & Nat, and played some of Toronto’s biggest clubs.

Now he’s bringing that big-event energy to Kingston for one unforgettable afternoon.

— The songs you know every word to
— The videos that instantly take you back
— Cocktails, dancing and an incredible party atmosphere
— A grown-up crowd that still knows how to have fun!

No need to wait until midnight to hit the dance floor. Come out, dance hard—and still be home by 10!
