About Yuri's Night:
April 12, 1961 Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin embarked on the historic first manned space flight. Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space shuttle flight. We think that's something worth celebrating! Every year on April 12th Yuri's Night parties are held all around the world; it's like the St. Patrick's Day or Cinco de Mayo for space. Visit http://www.yurisnight.net for a list of worldwide parties.

Join us for an OUT OF THIS WORLD experience. Dress yourself in your best celestial attire (prizes awarded). See an art exhibition of other-worldly magnitude. Enjoy space-themed libations by Stoli Vodka. Experience heavenly bodies through cosmic burlesque performances. Space out with a Russian-style, post-punk band.  Enjoy, and temporarily elevate yourself from an earthly existence.
