One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.

Celebrate Pride with The Dabs & Disco Ball—NYC’s Studio 54-inspired cannabis event featuring dabs, disco, ballroom, and culture-forward community.


Disco was always political. It was always Black. Always queer. Born from the underground and raised in rebellion, disco was a sanctuary — and The Dabs & Disco Ball honors that energy with a twist: dab bars, cannabis education, and intentional consumption activations.
