HEIST

"Pre-Halloween celebrations begin on Friday, October 25 with Freaky Friday at the Dupont Circle club. Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite, Lohan-approved, early 2000s ensemble. On Saturday, October 26, Heist is throwing a Beetlejuice-themed spooky costume party. If you can keep partying, Thursday’s main event is Heist Horror Night. Beginning at 10 p.m., dance the night away in your favorite outfit inspired by classic horror films." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Emily Venezky

The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 14, from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Reservations are required and many slots are already sold out. Options start at $400 for a table for six, including two bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne. VIP cabanas range from $1,000 to $2,500, but are all claimed. Smoothsail is a canned sparkling sake available in berry and peach flavors with 7 percent ABV. The event will allow attendees to sample the beverage, which is currently available only through online ordering." - Kalina Newman

"Heist, a popular nightclub in Dupont, planned a pop-up lounge on the rooftop terrace of the Kennedy Center. The event was postponed to allow for further evaluation and ensure compliance with health and safety standards amidst D.C.'s reopening guidelines. Heist's owner, Vinoda Basnayake, mentioned that the delay was to avoid confusion as a live entertainment venue and ensure public awareness of safety protocols. The setup included table reservations, a stage for artists, and compliance with city guidelines." - Gabe Hiatt
