Thursdays

Fridays                      

Salsa Fridays - The Cabaret at Theater Square becomes one of the city’s hottest late night dance floors every Friday from 10pm until 2am. DJ Jeff Shirey, DJ Carlton, DJ Paul Mitchell and other guest DJs spin the hottest Latin dance music to keep the crowd moving. (No salsa on June 11th).

Besides, how can anyone resist a Bobble Head Nite... in 3D!
