Velvet Vice
About this event :-
No Sections, No VIP, No Bottle Service. Just Vibes
Velvet Vice is a rooftop celebration of Black joy, rhythm, and timeless swag — where elegance meets expression and summer heat meets Harlem Renaissance cool. Inspired by the energy of Idlewild and Sinners, the event blends vintage soul with modern edge, bringing together the culture, the fashion, and the unapologetic style of our community.
Expect a night of music featuring Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop, and Afro Beats, curated to keep the dance floor moving and the vibe elevated. From bold summer looks to curated experiences, Velvet Vice is where generations of style, sound, and soul come together under the DC sky!
