Everybooty returns to Brooklyn for Pride Weekend 2025 with an electric, multi-sensory takeover of Brooklyn Academy of Music on Sunday, June 15.
The iconic four-floor rave, from 5:00pm to 10:00pm, at BAM Fisher resurfaces after a six-year pause, reigniting the city’s queer nightlife with sound, movement and a spectrum of celebration.
Curated by nightlife architect Robert Phillip Smith, known for Hot For You and SHEILA, and presented in partnership with Brooklyn Pride, Everybooty is more than a party. It is a high-octane cultural convergence, a tribute to joy, identity and expression within New York City’s queer community. The space is designed by Devanté Melton, with immersive lighting by Siobáhn Maïa, forming a kaleidoscopic playground where dance, dialogue and design intersect.
"Pride is always embued with meaning, but this year it's critical that queer people come together to connect as one community to celebrate our own power," said Smith. "EVERYBOOTY 2025 is about raving as resistance, dancing in the face of danger, and celebrating the most delicious artists and pleasure activists working across Brooklyn queer nightlife."
Each level of BAM Fisher will transform into a different universe:
The Club pulses with energy, featuring DJ sets from dance floor icons Kim Anh and Michael Magnan, anchoring the event with driving beats and magnetic soundscapes.
The Salon offers a slower rhythm with live music from Sunny Cheeba and two panel conversations centered on queer care. Body Talk, moderated by activist Viva Ruiz, brings together Ceyenne Doroshow, Yves Tong Nguyen and Sasha Cohen to explore the intersections of identity, health and advocacy. Beyond the Bar, led by Ora Wise, opens dialogue on collective spaces and pleasure economies with voices including Hena Mustafa, Elias Rischmawi, Ryann Holmes and Karen Song.
The Flea hosts a vibrant market of vintage collectors and queer artisans, turning craft into community and commerce into celebration.
The Roof closes the loop at sunset with cocktails and open-air sounds from Brooklyn favorites CarlosKilledIt and boy problem, offering a view and vibe that is unmistakably New York.
Tickets start at $25 and are available at BAM.org. BAM Fisher is located at 321 Ashland Place.
