THIS ISN’T ANOTHER HAPPY HOUR
The night everyone seems to end up in the same room.
While the rest of the city shuts down, the Jewish community comes together - and somehow, everyone ends up at Bagel Ball.
Hit the dance floor, catch up with familiar faces, meet someone new, or head to the Chill Zone for games and conversation. Whether you're here to dance all night or just hang out with your people, there's a place for you.
