BACKDOOR SEPTEMBER-LONG

Backdoor Long Weekend Series presents
BACKDOOR September Long: Harder Deeper.
Sunday, September 6
Hours: 10 PM Sunday – 6 AM Tuesday (non-stop across the long weekend)Inspired by the underground warehouses of the late 1970s, where gay men created sanctuary in abandoned industrial spaces, these parties became legendary safe havens. From Frankie Knuckles at Chicago’s The Warehouse — the very birthplace of house music — to secret all-night raves, warehouse parties have always been where our community danced, connected, and resisted in the face of a world that tried to silence us - and part of our own unique history right here in Vancouver.2 rooms of sound. 3 rooms of play. Non-stop warehouse energy from Sunday night through Tuesday morning.
With international DJs and special performers TBA
This is pure Backdoor energy for Labour Day Weekend. A place to dance hard, play harder, and fully embrace who we are — no filters, no apologies, just raw connection and freedom in the spirit of those original warehouse legends.Expect an extended dance + play experience where the energy stays intentional across both nights: We show up with our best selves — loving, validating, empowering, protecting, and giving.
Location: Revealed to ticket holders on the day of the event
