Description
19+ event.
Nightshade is teaming up with Backlot to bring you an all new series of alternative lifestyles community events!
Grab your friends and come join us on Friday December 4th, 2026 from 10pm-2am we'll be having our first ever event at Backlot, the new gay bar at 2103 Gottingen St, Halifax NS. Open 7 days a week with drag, bingo, karaoke, DJs, dancing, and Happy Hour every day from 6pm - 9pm.
What is the difference between Nightshade and NightLite? Nightshade is our large scale events held in a hotel ballroom overlooking a lake. These feature a full dungeon, drinks, dancing and individually run hotel room after parties. We book blocks of hotel rooms, taking over entire floors, and offer them to people attending at a special rate. NightLite is our reduced price parties offering free entry upstairs and just $15 for downstairs. Upstairs has a chill vibe with quieter music, free pool, plenty of seating, and the main bar. Downstairs has a small dungeon area, DJ and the dance floor.
Now although there is no dress code, it is strongly suggested that you dress up to look your best or some type of alternative wear is suggested. If you don't know what to wear then black clothing is strongly suggested but again try to dress in something you would consider sexy and edgy. Dress sexy and cool, cause it does get hot and sweaty in there. Due to the nature of the venue, public decency rules do apply.
Drink pricing:
TBA
Cash or card bar.
Please drink responsibly.
Backlot does not currently serve food, outside of bags of chips, but does allow you to bring outside food in or have it delivered. No outside drinks are permitted.
NightLite does not offer a discounted advance ticket price like Nightshade does as entry is free upstairs and just $15 (cash only) to go downstairs. Space downstairs is limited though so you can purchase your tickets in advance online through our website to put your name on the list and to guarantee your spot: https://NightshadeHalifax.com
Coat check service will be $3 for the night which includes in and out privileges for one hanger of clothes and/or one bag.
We will be adhering to all government regulations at our NightLite events. In addition extra cleaning procedures will be put into place for both the venue and for our own equipment. Valid government identification (19+) is required to gain entry.
If you are sick please stay home! We have done away with our regular 'no refunds' policy and replaced it with a full credit of your ticket price. If you inform us that you will not be in attendance prior to us opening the doors at 10pm than we will issue you a full credit for one of our future events.
If for any reason we are forced to reduce capacity or cancel this event, causing you to not be able to attend then you will be issued a full credit of your ticket price for one of our future events. Refunds for forced reduction in capacity or event cancellations are by request only.
The NightLite dance floor downstairs will be a flood of bodies as our DJ sets the beat to the rhythm of the night and the sounds of spanks and moans drift over from the dungeon.
NightLite and Nightshade are actively on the search for local DJ talent to perform at our events. So please reach out with suggestions of amazing Halifax DJs you would love to see on stage at our kinky costume parties!
Downstairs in our dungeon area there will be a few pieces of hardcore equipment brought in for those who know how to use it. For everyone's safety it will be well lit and monitored throughout the night by our DMs.
This is a no camera event with the exception of event photographers, please message to apply to shoot for the event.
Here are some other up coming themes but keep in mind that dates, themes and the venue may change but this is what we have planned:
• Nightshade: Kinky NYE 2K27 - Thursday December 31st, 2026 (DJ Gyrrrrl on Decks)
