The one-night fiesta customarily takes over all four of TNC's theater spaces, plus its lobby and the block of East Tenth Street between First and Second Avenues. Typically, more than 1,500 wildly-clad revleers gather for big-band dancing, dining, showing off of costumes, and viewing acts from the cutting-edge of Cabaret and Theater.

Outdoor entertainment, free to the public, starts at 3:30pm. Once inside for a $20 fee, everything is free except food and drink, which are graveyard dirt-cheap. Doors open at 7pm with two continuously-running cabarets offering theater all evening. Big Band dance orchestras begin at 8pm.

Costume competition with celebrity judges begins at 11pm. Admission is $20; costume or formal wear is required.
