SUMMARY:Waihī Beach Op Shop Ball Presents: Studio 64
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Waihī Beach Community Events & Promotions\nThe Op Shop Ball is Back for 2026!. Join us at for a night of 70’s Funk\, Glitz and Glamour at Studio 64 \nSome events leave a mark. The Op Shop Ball is one of them. It’s a beloved Waihī Beach tradition that locals have been asking about ever since the last one\, and one that is long overdue its return. \nIn 1977\, the legendary Studio 54 opened its doors in New York City and became the beating heart of the disco era. Frequented by icons such as David Bowie\, Mick Jagger\, Andy Warhol\, Grace Jones and Diana Ross\, it was the place to be. The dance floor pulsed with sequins\, satin\, and the kind of glamour that’s hard to describe and impossible to forget. Massive light installations\, costumed dancers\, and a crowd where celebrities rubbed shoulders with absolutely everyone. \nOutside\, people queued for hours just to get in. Inside\, nobody wanted to leave. It was excessive\, electric\, and by all accounts\, absolutely brilliant. \nThis July\, this is the inspiration behind the highly anticipated return of the Waihī Beach Op Shop Ball\, Studio 64 (do you get it\, a clever play on words with +64 being the international calling code for NZ). \nDress the era: We’d love to see you raid a local op shop for your outfit\, after all\, putting together your look is half the fun\, and the creativity on display never disappoints. But whether you go full second-hand or simply dress the era\, come ready to commit to the theme. \nGet creative\, think outside the square and show off what you’ve put together. \nThe night\nDoors open at 7pm\, and we start with the irresistible grooves of local funk favourites Disco Bush. Next DJ Dave takes over\, spinning back to back bangers to keep the dance floor alive all the way through to midnight. \nFood is included in your ticket and drinks available at the bar. This is a proper night out that you’ll be talking about for years to come. \nVIP tables are available at $1\,000 for a table of eight. There will be champagne for the table\, food brought to your table throughout the night\, and the best seats in the room. These are limited and tables will go quickly. \nEvery ticket sold goes directly back into community initiatives here at Waihī Beach. The Op Shop Ball is proudly brought to you by Waihī Beach Community Events & Promotions. \nFind out more
