Welcome to the Happily Ever After-Party
Spin Nightclub
San Diego
Friday, August 14
9pm-4am
Once Upon a Time reminded us what extraordinary things can happen when a conscious community of creative humans comes together.
We built a fantasy wonderland where joy, play, and communal care were at the forefront for a few beautiful days. We witnessed hundreds of strangers become friends, learn something about themselves, and reconnect with their inner child. We nourished our bodies with yoga & elixirs, sang puppet show karaoke, and danced until sunrise.
At Once Upon a Time, we asked everyone to remember their magic. Now we’re inviting everyone back to keep the magic alive.
💜 Join us at Spin Nightclub on Friday, August 14th
Whether you were with us at Once Upon a Time or not, we welcome to you join us for a night of dancing, performances, cozy corners, silliness, and more in this epic celebration of creativity & community.
🌙 Why This Night Matters
DuckDuckRoar has always been about more than just parties. We create spaces where people feel seen, free to express themselves, and connected with others. Every event is built by artists, volunteers, and a community that believes in creating something meaningful together.
As a grassroots nonprofit, we work hard to keep our events affordable and accessible. Unfortunately, this festival was hit with unexpected expenses—from extreme gas prices to soaring insurance costs—that far exceeded ticket revenue, leaving us deeper in the hole than our wishing well.
Rather than quietly asking for help, we wanted to do what we do best: bring everyone together for one more unforgettable night.
Every ticket purchased helps us close out Once Upon a Time and make the next chapter of DuckDuckRoar possible. If you can't attend, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to DuckDuckRoar (DDR Sanctuary) to help keep these experiences alive.
The first 100 guests to arrive receive a special gift

🤍 Consent & Care
Consent is key in everything we do - in movement, conversation, touch, art, and play. We practice clear communication, respect boundaries, and look out for one another. DuckDuckRoar is a community built on mutual care, responsibility, and trust. This is not a place to abuse substances - this is a place to be conscious about how you interact and grow and play with intention.
The story continues and we hope you're a part of this next chapter...
DuckDuckRoar aka DDR Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. These events are organized by a group of friends who volunteer their time because they are driven by the deep desire to bring people together.
Please consider donating to help us continue to create the magic.
