THE PARTY

A night of 80s hits, costumes, and Halloween nonsense in East Atlanta Village.

Atlanta’s legendary 80s night is back for Halloween.

HEYDAY returns to 529 for an 80s Halloween party with five hours of the biggest songs of the decade, an 80s costume contest, and a very civilized 8 PM start time.

We’re decorating, getting some wild costumes together, and turning 529 in East Atlanta Village into an 80s Halloween fever dream for the night.

We’re having an 80s costume contest, so come as your favorite 80s icon, movie or cartoon character, aerobics instructor, prom disaster, or whatever else the decade inspires. Costumes are encouraged, never required.

Kimber is the DJ, playing the 80s all night. Madonna, Dolly Parton, Prince, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, INXS, Janet Jackson, New Order, Depeche Mode, Salt-N-Pepa, Wham!, The Cure, Erasure, Chaka Khan, Hall & Oates, Bon Jovi, The Pointer Sisters, and plenty more. Yes, we will play Thriller.

We start at 8 PM and wrap at 1 AM. Come out early, spend the night dancing to the biggest hits of the 80s, and still be in bed at an entirely reasonable hour. Or stay out in EAV. We’re not your parents.

HEYDAY is for people who love the 80s, whether you lived through them or just inherited the records. Dress up or come as you are. Just be ready to sing along and dance your cares away with Atlanta’s friendliest crowd.

Everyone is welcome. Just don’t be a creep or a bigot, and you’re going to have a rad time.

FAQ
What time should I show up?
Doors are at 10. We go until 3. If you come before 11pm, you get a dance floor with more room to move and a bar with no line. The crowd builds fast after midnight, so showing up early means you're dancing and singing to your fave song while everyone else is still queuing. Do yourself a favor and come early.
How do I get there and where's parking?
We're at 736 Ponce De Leon Ave. Drunken Unicorn is part of the iconic old MJQ concourse space on Ponce. It's tucked between Midtown and Poncey-Highlands, near the Clermont Hotel. There's a lot of parking around, but honestly, just take a rideshare if you're partying. Ponce gets busy and a Uber to the door beats circling for parking. Drop-off is easy.
Can I get walk-up tickets at the door?
Yes! (card or cash). Walk right up. At the very worst, you'll wait a sec to get in.
Then why buy presale?
Because it costs more at the door, and presale buyers get priority entry. The door tix are there if you need them, but if you're planning to come, sort it early and breeze in. Sign up for The List to get notifications when early-bird tickets go on sale so you can snag the cheapest tickets for every event.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are open until 48 hours before the event. Life happens, no drama. Just sort it out on eventbrite.com before the cutoff and you're fine. If you miss the cutoff, do not contact us to request a refund. We can't help at that point.
Is it 21+? What do I need?
21 and up, so bring a real ID. That's the one non-negotiable. No ID means no entry and we hate seeing the venue turn people away.
What kind of night is it?
The magical kind. All 80s music, all night. Expect a packed room, group sing-alongs, and a crowd who came to dance their cares away. Heyday is joy.
Can I bring a group? Is there a deal?
Bring the crew! Buy five or more tix and you'll get a discount!
Is the venue accessible?
Yes. The Drunken Unicorn is wheelchair accessible. If you have specific needs or want to know what to expect, hit us up before the show and we'll take care of you.
What's the situation with coat check, bar, ATM?
There's a full bar with very good prices (card or cash) but no coat check or ATM.
