The largest NYC leather dance/sex party of the year. THE HOST SAYS : "Punx not dead, and neither is Black Party. The Black Party is cumming back to its seditious glory after a 5-year hiatus. At long last, Punk Rites XLI takes siege of its new home in Hell's Kitchen, A 16+ hour marathon event inspired by pagan rituals marking the vernal equinox with 'Rites of Spring' celebrations. Blending its signature strange live acts, elaborate lightshows, 'DanceSurround' sound installation, theme-heavy decor set against a soundtrack showcasing top talent from the underground music scene, this New York City annual tradition delivers a cathartic bonding experience."
