As always, SEA OF DREAMS means more than just great musical entertainment. Our vision has always been an immersive one full of wonders and opportunities to delight the eye and engage the mind. We have always viewed the nature of partying as something highly individual and highly interactive. We extend that to weave all kinds of analog and digital directions, environmental and visual artforms into one long night's DIY journey of potent possibilities.

Here are just a few of the amazing pARTy/SCIENCE attractions we have lined up for this NYE. Keep an eye out for more attractions to be added SOON!
