Silent Disco - Oct 14

The Second Annual Silent Disco is happening on Saturday Oct 14, 6:00-11:00 PM at Millsite Park!

Get ready for an unforgettable night of music, dance, and pure enjoyment, all while supporting a wonderful cause. We're thrilled to present the ultimate all-ages fundraiser for The Friends Of Myrtle Creek Library. This year's event promises to be even more fantastic than before – you definitely don't want to miss it!

As you arrive, receive your wireless, glowing headphones that will transport you into a musical journey like no other. With three channels featuring everything from timeless hits of the 70s, 80s, and 90s to today's chart-toppers, along with hip-hop, soul, disco, and techno beats, there's something to groove to for everyone. Swap between channels at your leisure and craft your unique dance party!

From 6:00 to 7:00 PM, children are welcome at Kid’s Hour for a reduced price of $5 plus deposit. Our special kid’s channel features a selection of energetic, uplifting, and fun tracks that are perfect for young ears. All tracks have age appropriate lyrics with no profanity. Parents, seize the opportunity to introduce your kids to the Silent Disco magic!

This event is almost as fun to watch as it is to dance, so wear a fun disco outfit and light-up accessories! Bring a chair and blanket if you plan to chill for a bit. We will have a cotton candy machine and a food truck on site, and other offerings are available at local businesses. Your headphones will stay connected even on Main Street!
