SENSATIONAL SATURDAY

The weekend you've been waiting for is here! Get into your favorite gear for our Leather & Lace Weekend at The Zone on Friday, July 18th, and Saturday, July 19th.

This is a celebration of our community in all its forms. We want to see our dance floor filled with bears, pups, furries, and anyone in leather, latex, or lace. Masters, mistresses, and folks in uniform—this is your weekend to come out and connect.

Kick the weekend off right! On Friday night, we'll have a special performance from the cast of our incredible monthly drag show, DIVAS! You won't want to miss it.

Ready for a totally different kind of night out? We are so excited to partner with our friends at the Northwest Pennsylvania LEGO® User Group (NWPALUG) to bring you a brand new, creative social event at The Zone!

Join us for Bricks + Booze, a casual meet-up for adults who love to build, connect, and chill. This isn't a competition—it's just a relaxed space to hang out, have a drink, and let your imagination run wild. You can bring your own bricks for a project you're working on, or just come play with the collection we'll have on hand!

This is a new monthly event happening on the 2nd Sunday of each month, perfect for winding down the weekend with great company.

Join us for the kickoff on our new night!

Where: The Zone Dance Club, 133 W 18th Street, Erie, PA

Cost: This is a no-cost event! Drinks are available at the bar (cash only).

Come build with us! We can't wait to see what you create.

Summer is still sizzling, and so are we! Get ready to escape to the tropics without ever leaving Erie. The Zone is bringing back our legendary Island Heat Weekend, a two-night party dedicated to sun-soaked beats and steamy dance floors.

This is your invitation to let loose. The energy will be high, the music will be moving, and our community will be shining. We want you to feel the fantasy, so rock your favorite beachwear! Think swimsuits, shorts, bright colors, or anything that makes you feel like you're on vacation. This is your weekend to celebrate the season in a space where you can be 100% yourself.

Come for one night or make it a full weekend getaway right here at home. We'll have the drinks cold and the dance floor ready.

We can't wait to see you and dance the night away together!
