The Neighborhood Hafla with DJ Joco is a summer sunset celebration of Sephardic and Mizrahi cultures, with food, music, and drinks. Come dance with us at this Hafla (Arabic for “party” or “celebration”) at The Garden at Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg, where we’ll toast the summer with joy, inclusivity, and Mizrahi beats! In addition to a live DJ set, your $15 ticket includes unlimited falafel, cauliflower, and salatim at our pita bar, as well as an open bar with beer, wine, and bubbly.

The Neighborhood Hafla is produced by The Neighborhood in partnership with the Sephardic Mizrahi Q Network and Kanisse.
