  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Night of Music, Dance, and Fandom Fun&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this episode of The Dragon Con Report, we dive into some of the most exciting after-dark experiences at the convention. From nostalgic throwback parties to imaginative fantasy-themed events, Dragon Con truly has something for every fan who loves music, dancing, and unforgettable vibes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet Our Guests&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Joining us this month are three fantastic voices from Dragon Con’s vibrant nightlife and programming scene:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin Cafferty&lt;/strong&gt;, the creative force behind the 120 Minutes Party, brings the alternative, goth, and new wave sounds of the ’80s and ’90s back to life on the dance floor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebecca Perry&lt;/strong&gt;, better known as DJ for the High Fantasy 90s Goblin Ball, talks about weaving together mystical beats, fantasy-inspired themes, and pure dance energy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Renee Cooper&lt;/strong&gt;, representing the Animation, Anime, and Video Game Tracks, shares insight into the programming that keeps fans engaged from panels to parties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to Expect in This Episode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
We explore how these events have grown over the years, what makes them unique, and how they each bring their own flavor to Dragon Con’s nightlife. Along the way, you’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories, tips for first-time party-goers, and why these celebrations are a highlight of the con.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you love hitting the dance floor, immersing yourself in fantasy atmospheres, or just want to learn more about the culture of Dragon Con parties, this episode is packed with fun and fandom spirit.&lt;/p&gt;
