Dance floor with people at a concert with colorful lights and stage setup.

Glow

A glow party where the room disappearsโ€”blackout space, neon lights, white tees, paint everywhere, and a crowd that turns into the visuals.

Glow parties work when you fully commit to darkness and color.

Blackout the Space

This is non-negotiable.

  • Kill all ambient light
  • Use tents, tarps, or blackout fabric if needed
  • One main enclosed zone works best

The darker the room, the harder everything else pops. For easy cleanup, cover everything with tarps.

Lighting (Built for Glow)

Lighting should make white and neon explode.

  • UV / black lights
  • Neon LED strips or tubes
  • Lasers used in short bursts

If it doesnโ€™t glow, it doesnโ€™t belong.

Fog + Haze

Fog amplifies everything.

  • Light haze throughout the night
  • Heavier fog during peak moments
  • Helps lights and paint feel layered, not flat

This is one of the easiest ways to level the party up.

This is what makes Glow different from Rave.

Everyone Becomes the Visual

Glow works because people participate.

  • White shirts
  • Neon paint
  • Glow accessories everywhere

Once the paint starts flying, the party takes over itself. Hand out Glow Sticks, LED bracelets, and paint at the door

Paint

Lean into the mess.

  • Face and body paint stations
  • Paint tossed or sprayed during peak moments

Make it clear upfront: wear clothes youโ€™re willing to ruin.

  • White tees or tanks
  • Old clothes
  • Nothing you care about
