19+ event.

We'll be taking over a ball room in the basement of the Atlantica Hotel (1980 Robie St, Halifax NS) for The Rubber Ball 2024, our annual event for the past 11 years and our 115th event to date!

This is one of our more popular themes as The Rubber Ball event is your chance to show off your best rubber, latex, vinyl, PVC, pleather, plastic or any type of synthetic outfit and join the sexy fun. As for normal there is no enforced dress code but not putting any effort into your outfit at all will definitely make you stand out. If you don't have anything like this, think SHINY but even then you will be fine wearing what you are most comfortable in.

Now although there is no dress code, it is strongly suggested that you dress in theme or some type of alternative wear is suggested. If you don't know what to wear then black clothing is strongly suggested but again try to dress in something you would consider sexy and edgy. Dress sexy and cool, cause it does get hot and sweaty in there. Due to the nature of the venue, public decency rules do apply.

Hand sanitizer stations will be readily available as well of course there is plenty soap and water in the washrooms. Valid government identification (19+) is required to gain entry.

If you are sick please stay home! We have done away with our regular 'no refunds' policy and replaced it with a full credit of your ticket price. If you inform us that you will not be in attendance prior to us opening the doors at 9pm than we will issue you a full credit for one of our future events.

If for any reason we are forced to reduce capacity or cancel this event, causing you to not be able to attend then you will be issued a full credit of your ticket price for one of our future events. You may also purchase optional Cancellation Insurance for $1 per ticket which would see the full price of your ticket ($25 ticket or $28 ticket price w/coatcheck) refunded to you if you can not attend the event for any reason, so long as you contact us about the cancellation prior to the start of the event.

The Nightshade dance floor will be a flood of bodies as we introduce to our stage, for the first time ever at Nightshade: DJ Eddie Hedfones! Eddie Hedfones has been in love with dance music from a very young age, influenced by the sounds of 70s disco, 80s synth pop, 90s dance music, through to contemporary underground house and techno. Eddie was the Saturday night resident at Reflections Cabaret in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada from 2003-2016 playing mostly top 40 remixes, but his true passion lies in the underground. You can check him out here:

This is a no camera event with the exception of event photographers, please message to apply to shoot for the event. Check out some of our photographers we've had come out and shoot in the past:
