Welcome to Matinée USA... Welcome to WOW!

Reinventing the gay nightlife experience one party and one guest at a time.  Matinée launched almost 20 years ago in Ibiza with the idea to re-imagine and craft an elaborate party experience, drawing tens of thousands of attendees each week from around the world. Since 2010, Jake, Patrick and Paul have brought the international party franchise to the states with incredible spectacles in various cities including Miami, Orlando, Vegas and Los Angeles. 

 

It all started at in New York City during Pride 2010 where they transformed Manhattan’s Governor’s Island into an extravagant dance arena, with explosive music and thrilling light shows. At sunset, a surprise fireworks display ignited the skyline. A Matinée party is all about awe and extravagance, combining superior fantasy elements and theatrics.

 

Whether in the heart of Manhattan or on the beaches of San Diego, a Matinée event is meant to take revelers out of body and beyond the confines of their imagination.
