#BESTPARTYEVER #29ROOMS

What: Whether it be a month-long beach soiree or a particularly rambunctious post-work cocktail hour, we at R29 pride ourselves on throwing a good party.

Because we're celebrating 10 years of Refinery29 by hosting 29Rooms, a wild, interactive funhouse highlighting style and culture through installations, one-of-a-kind performances, virtual-reality experiences, music, and more.

Set in a Brooklyn warehouse, our creation spans across (you guessed it) 29 individual rooms, each curated by a hand-picked selection of our favorite partners and artists. We'd spoil the surprise if we spilled everything, so for now, just look out for a polka-dotted confetti tornado celebrating Minnie Mouse, an ode to literary heroines created with Nordstrom Rack, an Old Navy DIY denim workshop, a PUMA and SIX:02 stop-motion projection project, and a mysterious "cabinet of curiosities" made with Fossil.

Entrance is free and open to the public on September 11 and 12, from 12 to 8 p.m. EDT. And Lyft is graciously providing discounted rides over the two-day period, using the codeREFINERY29. Really, this just might be the most buzzed-about (and Instagrammed) fete this Fashion Week, so come see what all the hype is about, and get ready to wear yourself out tagging #29Rooms to your epic pics. We'll see you there.

The festival leads up to the September 12 Honey Fest, on the newly rebuilt Rockaway Boardwalk (at Beach 97th Street); there will be food, music, film, art, kids' activities and a bee-product marketplace.
