blackparty-final2019F.jpg

Thank you to all our guests who made The Black Party 2019 a legendary event for the ages. It was a celebration with lasting memories. You can be proud of who you are, what you’re made of and how you showed up in “heavy” attire.

Thank you to the amazing DJs who shape-shifted us on the dance floor for 18+ hours.

Thank you to the tireless and dedicated staff who poured themselves into this event for months with care and consideration in all the details to raise the bar of production and for an experience we will never forget.

Thank you to the Bronx for hosting us in this special place on the water’s edge.

Thank you especially to our amazing sponsors and promotional partners. We couldn’t have done this without you.

Photos will be posted from our professional team shortly. Look for our communications on how we take The Saint Foundation to the next level. In the meantime, we will have memorabilia from the event for sale soon, in addition to our current collection of fetish attire at The Saint Store.

We’re saddened to hear that our community lost a nightlife legend this past weekend. Michael Fesco was behind the first Black and White Parties, Flamingo, the Ice Palace in Cherry Grove, Sea Tea and many other nightlife ventures. He and his work redefined the way we experience LGBTQ nightlife today. He will be missed but not forgotten.

“Produced by The Saint at Large, nearly 3,000 gathered for this year’s Black Party: Rites XL, held for the first year at the massive New York Expo Center in the Bronx. The 90,000 square foot expanse was transformed into a cavernous and intimate space that housed a dance floor, multiple stages, lounges and a ‘Minotaur’s Maze’ for cruising." - @theadvocatemag . 📸: @caryn7

Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Rites XL: The Black Party® took place this past Saturday night-Sunday afternoon, April 6-7 in New York City. . Produced by The Saint at Large® organization, The Black Party® is considered the father of all large gay circuit events and remains unchallenged as the forbearer in an ever-changing NYC nightlife environment. It’s an unapologetically, sexually-propelled LGBTQ phenomenon with a religious-like following. . This year’s theme “Caligula,” transported attendees into a darkly decadent world of world of indulgent rituals, exotic arena performances (the party’s infamous “Strange Live Acts) and grand, exotic and erotic pageantry. . 📸: @jwilson77

”You lose your sense of time at the Black Party. You do. You’ve checked your phone and are in a warehouse with no windows. Unless you’re wearing a watch, you lose yourself in a wave of mostly-naked flesh clothed in harnesses, jockstraps, and a few cutoff denim shorts bathed in colored lights on the dancefloor; or you’re in the depths of a dark makeshift maze, coupling and uncoupling with faceless beings while others climb in and out of slings around you. Along the way, you undoubtedly lose track of time until you stumble outside to pee in one of the port-a-potties and find yourself exposed to a completely different type of light. But isn’t that a bit of the point?” - @outmagazine. . Head to Out.com for more. 📸: @santiagraphy
