A new sunset party is coming to Brooklyn this summer. RIVA Saturdays launches May 16 at ART Williamsburg, the rooftop venue at Arlo Williamsburg, bringing weekly house music celebrations with Manhattan skyline views.

The venue already hosts Azure Day Party, which has drawn over 100,000 attendees since launching in 2023. RIVA extends this concept as a Saturday series running through September 5, featuring the same team behind Azure’s success.

Partnership Continues Azure Success

RIVA marks the next evolution of Arlo Hotels’ partnership with DJ Luke Alexander and Mike Kanevsky. The collaboration began in 2023 with Azure Day Party, now one of New York City’s most sought-after summer rooftop experiences.

“Azure draws a style-savvy crowd that’s all about music and good vibes and they keep coming back season after season,” said Alexander. “What makes it special is the unique vibe the moment you step onto the rooftop. It’s not just a party, it’s a fully-curated atmosphere where people can lose themselves in the moment and celebrate.”

High above Brooklyn streets, the ART Williamsburg rooftop becomes part of the experience itself. The open-air venue offers sweeping Manhattan skyline views that evolve from golden hour warmth to twilight vibrance as the sun sets.

The venue transforms into a glowing panorama of energy as house music takes over, featuring a rotating lineup of established and emerging talent. Upcoming artists include Stephan Jolk, Audien, Ookay, CID, Sunday Scaries, and Night Tales. The launch opener on May 16 will feature Benny, Cyprien, Jazz, Kaylee Rae, SCHMDT, and Stave.

“RIVA Saturdays represent an exciting next chapter for Arlo Hotels as we continue expanding our portfolio of experiential music-driven events,” said Jimmy Suh, President of Arlo Hotels. “With the success of Azure Day Party and Arlo After Dark, we’ve seen how deeply our guests connect with programming that feels experiential, celebratory and transportive.“

The series positions Arlo Williamsburg as a premier nightlife destination, blending elevated programming with a rooftop atmosphere that captures New York’s energy. It builds on the hotel’s momentum of offering full weekends of sound, culture, and community set against one of the city’s most stunning rooftops.

RIVA Saturdays runs from 6-11 p.m. weekly through September 5. Tickets start at $40 for general admission, with table reservations available at rivasunset.com.
