PARTY WITH US EVERY FIRST FRIDAY!

Hillsboro Party People! We’re launching Desi Nights every first Friday of the month at 1823 Mystery Bar starting with a Festival of Lights Diwali Party!

Diwali is India’s biggest annual festival which celebrates the victory of good over evil, and light over darkness. 1823 Mystery Bar will be decorated with LED candles and there will be a variety of Indian sweets for the early birds to enjoy while supplies last.

Come dressed in vibrant, colorful outfits in the spirit of celebration. We encourage traditional attire (Indian or any other country welcome) but whatever you wear, come prepared to dance all night long.

COVID-19 Entrance Requirement:

State of Oregon & Multnomah County requirements on November 7th will be enforced on the day of the event. As of now there is a new mandate in place (wearing a mask unless actively eating or drinking) hence we presently won’t be checking Vaccination proof nor require RT PCR.

Everyone will need to be masked up even while dancing. If this changes by November 7th, we will modify accordingly.

General Guidelines @ Every JAI HO!

Creating a safe & celebratory space is my number one priority at every event I host.

And I would love for you to be an accomplice of mine by greeting & treating everyone like you would like to be treated. With equality, mutual respect, and a big smile.

I know this does not apply to you because you are awesome but for the other people who it may be relevant to, I have zero tolerance for bigotry, racist remarks and general reckless behavior including but not limited to fighting, inappropriate touch, etc.

Anyone found engaging in such behavior will be thrown out at once & may never be able to attend my dance parties again.

If you see something, say something by bringing it to the attention of the venue staff or me directly.

A brief history of JAI HO! in Portland:

I moved to the US from India in 2003 for graduate school at Cornell University, and started DJing, teaching dance + hosting events in Portland after quitting a full-time job at Intel back in 2009.

Since then, I have traveled regularly across the west coast, Denver, and New Orleans to produce MAD AWESOME dance parties, creating and fostering communities centered around celebrating world music & dance with a focus on south asian culture.

Land Acknowledgement:

We at Bollywood Dreams seek to practice deep regard and respect for the Indigenous Peoples on whose lands we have the opportunity to live, work and play.

We acknowledge that Jai Ho! Dance Party in Portland takes place at the unceded ancestral lands of the Multnomah people, a tribe of the Chinookan people.
