Get ready to dive back into the OASIS for Ready Party One, the signature San Diego Comic-Con kick-off party and Night 1 of Party HQ Comic Con at Parq Nightclub. This year, we travel to the Mushroom Kingdom planet, where the 8-bit legacy adventures of Zelda, Mega Man, Metroid, and more run rampant – but of course the star of the show is everybody’s favorite mushroom-smashing plumber.
Journey with Parzival into this world celebrating video game legacy and all things Mario – from his humble beginnings as Jumpman in Donkey Kong to his evolution through the 8-bit years of the N.E.S, his 16-bit Super Nintendo years, to his jump to 3D in Mario 64.
The immersive decor will make you feel like you’re visiting a ba-bomb battlefield, and themed drinks will keep the party going all night long. Check out the gaming lounge to get all your favorite 8-bit moves in, accompanied by a live DJ. Can you beat Parzival’s score?
Travel through the warp tunnel to the main dance floor, avoiding those banana peels, and get treated to an incredible 80’s set from world-famous flashback band The Flux Capacitors, as well as killer DJ sets by DJ Elliot and DJ Atomic Blonde. Keep an eye out for special guest performances that’ll take you on a journey through the best of Mario’s adventures. Watch out for a special performance by Violet on the Rocks as everyone’s favorite fruity princess. Ready Party One has everything else that makes it the favorite party at Comic-Con since 2018, including immersive cosplay, gaming experiences, and much more.
