San Jose mall to host wild overnight rave with secret DJ lineup

Let’s meet at the mall — after hours.For the first time ever on September 5, South Bay’s Eastridge Center — a 55-year-old shopping center that, at its opening in 1971, was the largest of its kind on the West Coast at the time — will be hosting a large rave party, cheekily coined Mallorama.Organizers are touting the after-hours event, which will take place from 9 p.m.(when the mall typically closes on Fridays and Saturdays) to 2 a.m.

the next day in the mall’s center court, as a “takeover at the Eastridge Mall.”Per a social media post by San Jose Foos, an event promotion brand that appears to be co-promoting the event with Brownies & Lemonade (though Something New, DJ Dials and 15Utah are also listed on the ad), the one-of-a-kind event will be “bringing a full stage, sound, lighting and a secret lineup of DJs you can’t miss” — complete with full staff and security to ensure the night runs smoothly.“We are so excited to be bringing something so fun and unique to our beloved Eastridge Center right here in San Jose,” the San Jose Foos Facebook page posted on July 28.“This place holds a real special place in our hearts and to be able to do this with you all is a dream come true.”They then added that those curious about the mall’s general offerings should visit them regularly for the center’s additional events and shops, which include mall staples like Auntie Anne’s and AMC Theatres.During the event, where instead of shopping til they drop, guests can party hard, the majority of the mall’s stores will be closed, but certain food options will still be available for business.
