    2026 International New Year Masquerade Party

    2026 International New Year Masquerade Party

    Blind, Asmalı Mescit, Şehbender Sk. no:3, 34430 Beyoğlu, Istanbul, TR

    The countdown has begun. Say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026 at our International New Year Masquerade Party, surrounded by the energy of Istanbul’s most active international community.

    Important Note: This is a New Year’s party, not a networking meetup. Expect DJs, dancing, and a lively club environment rather than a typical networking/meetup format. Join us to celebrate, have fun, and ring in 2026 together.

    Early bird tickets:
    https://biletino.com/tr/e-17hl/

    This year we’re adding a touch of elegance with a light masquerade theme. Think classic masquerade vibes rather than costumes. Guests are invited to dress in red, white, black, or gold, and to bring a simple, stylish mask to match the atmosphere. No Halloween masks, no full-face characters, nothing complicated… just a bit of flair to make the night feel special. Masks are encouraged but fully optional, so join us in whatever way feels right for you.

    Expect a crowd from around the world and locals coming together for a night of music, laughter, and celebration. This is where new friendships are made, the dance floor stays full, and the good vibes carry into the early hours.

    Early bird tickets will run out fast, so don’t miss your chance.
    Doors open at 21:00.

    This event is 18+, with gender balance enforced. This means gentlemen have to join with a lady friend.

    Get ready to start the new year in style at one of the city’s best late-night venues.
    /
    Geri sayım başladı. 2025’e veda edip 2026’yı İstanbul’un en aktif uluslararası topluluğunun enerjisiyle karşılamak için International New Year Masquerade Party’de buluşuyoruz.

    Bu bir Yeni Yıl partisi, bir networking buluşması değil. Alıştığımız networking formatı yerine DJ performansları, dans ve hareketli bir kulüp atmosferi sizi bekliyor. Gelin, birlikte kutlayalım, eğlenelim ve 2026’yı hep beraber karşılayalım.

    Early bird tickets: https://biletino.com/tr/e-17hl/

    Bu yıl geceye hafif bir zarafet katmak için maske balosu tarzında bir tema ekliyoruz. Kostüm partisi gibi düşünmeyin. Kırmızı, beyaz, siyah veya altın tonlarında giyinmenizi ve geceye uyacak sade, şık bir maske getirmenizi öneririz. Cadılar Bayramı maskeleri ya da tam yüz kapatan karakter maskeleri değil, sadece atmosfere renk katacak küçük bir dokunuş yeterli. Maske takmak tamamen isteğe bağlıdır, katılmak isteyenlere teşvik edilir ama zorunlu değildir.

    Dünyanın dört bir yanından gelen katılımcılar ve yerel toplulukla birlikte müzik, kahkaha ve kutlama dolu unutulmaz bir gece sizi bekliyor. Yeni arkadaşlıkların kurulduğu, dans pistinin dolup taştığı ve iyi enerjinin sabaha kadar sürdüğü bir gece olacak.

    Early bird biletleri hızla tükenecek, şansınızı kaçırmayın.
    Kapılar 21:00’de açılır.
    Etkinlik 18+ olup cinsiyet dengesi uygulanır.
    Yeni yıla şehrin en iyi geç saat mekânlarından birinde şık bir başlangıç yapmaya hazır olun.
