Illuminate Fridays ft. Porter Robinson

           

            The day after thanksgiving is most typically spent relaxing with family while overcoming the food coma that is thanksgiving dinner. For young adults, the Friday after Thanksgiving marks the end of a break from school. Speaking from experience, this day can be a little sad. Having a break from the stress of school to see your family and friends from home only comes a few times a year. There are only so many moments you can spend with your loved ones before heading back to the grind.
 
            This past Friday, though, was not your typical day after Thanksgiving. After spending a quiet day at home with family, groups of young adults met up with friends from home to get their minds off of returning to the grind. Groups flocked to Opera, Atlanta’s hottest nightclub, which holds Illuminate every Friday. Illuminate is the largest weekly dance party in the southeast. Every Friday, Opera brings a world-class DJ who spins electro, house, and dubstep music, to host the party, while Atlanta’s sexiest crowd dances the night away under the club’s LED light productions. Last Friday, Porter Robinson lit up the most popular club in the southeast with his renowned music that has landed him twice on Billboard’s 21 under 21 list, where he joins the likes of young pop stars, such as Miley Cyrus.


 
            Guests who were 21 and up had the privilege of landing their names on Opera’s VIP guest list, where they could enjoy the show from their own VIP tables, or the famous Opera Boxes that overlook the dance floor. While guests ages 18-20 partied the night away on the iconic dance floor.
 
            Every moment of Illuminate shined bright like a diamond last Friday night. There was not a moment of dullness, as well-known DJ Danny M opened for Porter Robinson. DJ Danny M is loved by Atlanta’s nightlife, and has been featured as one of CBS Local’s Best DJs in Atlanta.
 
            Considering the incredible talent, dazzling lights, and hot, young crowd that Illuminate attracts each Friday, it’s no wonder that Opera’s Illuminate is the largest dance party in the southeast. In the words of Miley Cyrus, “We can’t stop, and we won’t stop” bringing the biggest party in the southeast to Atlanta each Friday, so there is excuse for you to miss the magic that Illuminate’s Friday nights.
