Whether or not you realize it, New York is undergoing a nightlife renaissance. Communities that were once driven underground and considered "niche" have blossomed and claimed their rightful spot in the city's entertainment ecosystem. Whether it's a new Latin party about to take over one of the biggest club venues in the Lower East Side, an Afro-Latino party that takes place on a Midtown rooftop every Saturday, or an AAPI collective taking over the Brooklyn Museum for first Saturdays, there's no shortage of exciting parties happening this month. Here are some of our top picks.

The best parties and club nights in NYC this month: June 2024

  • LGBTQ+

Join Body Hack, the party collective that raises money for trans communities, and Mister Sunday, a long-running party series, for a 36-hour summer festival called The Tuck at Nowadays in Brooklyn. They've teamed up with Queer|Art, the national organization connecting and uplifting generations of LGBTQ+ artists, for an incredible party. 

The festival will kick off at noon on June 29 with an art bazaar and clothing swaps that are open to all ages. The dance parties at night will be 21+ and will include continue sets by Heavy Pleasure, SCAAARR, Cisne, ARCHANGEL, Maya Margarita and other community icons.

  • Nightlife

In the three years since it started, the iconic party sksksks has hosted some of the biggest hyperpop artists including Dorian Electra, digi-rap pioneer Dazedgxd and more. If you're a fan of techno and pop, head over to their Pride party happening at The Brooklyn Monarch on Friday, June 21, which will include sets by Chloe Cherry, Food House, DJ Thank You and THELIMITDOESNOTEXIST.

  • Nightlife

If a multi-floor celebration involving wet t-shirt contests, pole and lap dances sounds like a fun time, then the Sultan Room's THIRST party was made for you. THIRST centers queer and trans sex workers in all their performances and brands itself as the premiere queer strip party in the city.

Their upcoming party on June 22 will also celebrate their one-year anniversary and start at 2pm on the rooftop before the rest of the club opens at 7pm. Expect performances by Mother Aoki Lee, Lexii-Fox, Samuel Paulish, Noel, and Mars Hobrecker as well as DJ sets by Coral Kill and Ickarus.

  • Nightlife

After a brief hiatus, NSFW, the iconic fetish-inspired party, is back at Hush in Hells Kitchen every other Friday. This month's party is on May 10. Created by legendary promoter Papito Suave, prepare to enter a world where your craziest fantasies could become your sexy reality, while dancing the night away to sets by some of NYC's best underground DJs.

This is a party that's also frequented by some of the city's most scandelous socialites, including Amanda Lepore. Definitely come with an open mind: NSFW is a diverse space free of judgement where exploration is encouraged, and entry is free if you wear fetish gear.   

  • Nightlife

The iconic Radio Hotel Uptown is converting its 8,000-square-foot outdoor space into a Pride party on June 22 from 7pm till midnight. Expect a drag performance and high energy sets from New York native DJ Dada Cozmic and others who will be serving raggaeton and Carribean-centered beats. Award-winning restaurant Jalao will be serving Latin bites and specialty cocktails in case you get thirsty.
