Conveniently located near the intersection of Highways 394 and 100, the award-winning Metropolitan Ballroom has been newly renovated in the fall of 2019. This stunning reimagining brightened the space, adding new flooring, beautiful light fixtures, and a magnificent, custom glass chandelier over the dance floor while still retaining its classic elegance and nods to its nightclub past. With free on-site parking, the Metropolitan is an exquisite choice to ring in the new year and we are thrilled to present our 2022 bash at this elegant venue.

About the DJ: Eric Arcilla, aka Brownie, has held DJ residencies and guest DJ’d at a number of popular nightclubs in the Twin Cities for well over a decade.

Their energy can be dictated by how well a DJ can read a crowd. It can sometimes be a challenge, but when it works, that synergy between DJ and dancefloor is what makes me love what I do.”
