Kick-off event: Yuri’s Night at the Smithsonian @ Smithsonian S. Dillon Ripley Center
Jul 26 @ 12:00 AM – 3:00 AM

WHAT:  Introducing the Smithsonian’s premier 21+ after-hours event series—a unique mix of culture, art, history, and science, including music, a cash bar, and special access to Smithsonian exhibits,

collections, and experts.

WHEN: Kick-off event: Yuri’s Night at the Smithsonian

Thursday, July 25, 8 to 11 p.m.

WHERE: Smithsonian’s S. Dillon Ripley Center, 1100 Jefferson Drive SW

When Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the earth in 1961, he gave his nation a reason to celebrate its pioneering role in the space race. Fifty years later, Gagarin’s achievement began to be celebrated by fans of space exploration, science and good old-fashioned partying in the first of the now-annual global events known as Yuri’s Night.

Yuri’s Night at the Smithsonian marks the 52nd anniversary of that historic blastoff—as well as the 44th anniversary of the first moon landing. Grab a specialty cocktail and get in on the conversation about the future as you chat spaceships, tech and science with the folks from SpaceUp DC. Be a citizen scientist with the Science Cheerleaders and collect microbe samples for the International Space Station. Show off your geek chic or lunar luxe for a costume contest with prizes from ThinkGeek. Get an inside look at a space shuttle orbiter in amazing 360-degree GigaPan images by photographer John Brack.

In the vacuum of space, sway to the sounds of the Silent Disco with music spun by DJ Collective OneLoveMassive. VIP ticket-holders can sample the Cuban dishes that Kennedy Space Center staffer Ivette Jones prepares for astronauts on launch days. As the sun goes down and the stars come out, surround yourself with a mix of space facts and fun at a stellar evening you won’t want to miss.

Capital Flair cash bar and food vendors. Must be over 21; valid ID required.

General Admission $15 in advance, $20 at the door. VIP admission tickets $25, includes special talk & tastings; limited availability. For tickets and further information the public may call 202-633-3030 or visit www.SMITHSONIANat8.com

Music:
– Miami Horror DJs. First time in DC since 2011. Taking a break from recording their new album in LA. Bio: Kickstarted by Ben Plant, Miami Horror was created out of a love of Roland keyboards and French house, landing the young producer on everyone’s radar overnight with a slew of sharp remixes and productions in his arsenal. Yet it was while Ben was punching out 2008’s epochal Bravado EP that Miami Horror took off in a completely new and different direction thanks to the recruitment of Josh Moriarty, the wiry guitarist and dexterous vocalist that would become Miami Horror’s powerhouse frontman. Together the two cut the lushly organic summer jam Sometimes with Josh on croon duties and the idea to drastically alter Miami Horror’s genetic makeup into a crowd-swelling live entity was born.
– Mr JPatt, half of The Knocks. DJed at Sweetlife and the mastermind behind massively dance parties in NYC, Might Get Weird and The Deep. Bio: James Patterson aka Mr. JPatt is a musician/dj/dream weaver from New York City. As a working musician he is most renowned for being one half of The Knocks. This has given him opportunities to perform on some of the worlds biggest stages while carefully perfecting his dream weaving abilities. His overwhelming passion for music is something he tries to make apparent in every performance, and he hopes to continue to travel the globe spreading the message of love and positivity through music; weaving dreams for everyone.

– Chris Burns of Deep Secrets, Lost Society, Red Fridays and many other DJing exploits. Taking a break from deep house to throw it back to his Disco City days…
