PUSH!

PUSH: Durham's Ultimate Fetish Party returns on April 12th.

​​

​

​

​

​

Parking: There is limited free parking in the lot right across the street (the Durham Human Services lot; the entrance is on Elizabeth Street, north of Ramseur and south of Main). There is also street parking along Ramseur and several other streets near the venue. Once these fill up, there is a pay parking deck at 464 East Pettigrew Street, 1/2 block south of the Fruit.

​

Coat and Bag Check: We have a coat and bag check run by the venue, which will be open at 7:00 PM (they charge $5 per item with one free re-check).

​

Remember, PUSH is not just a party, but rather it is the largest multipurpose kink/BDSM event in North Carolina.

​

Please see our PUSH rules and statement on accessibility

SCHEDULE:

​

During the day, you will find a plethora of vendors selling fetish clothing, BDSM furniture, lots of toys, and many other items. See https://www.pushfetish.com/vending.

 

You will also find an array of classes, forums and other events: https://www.pushfetish.com/daytime

 

 

From 5:00-6:30, be ready for our third annual BEST IN SHOW for pets and critters of all kinds, their handlers and spectators.

 

From 6:30-9 PM, we have our kinky cocktail and mocktail meet and greet. Beginning at 7:00, you will experience the masterful music of BouncyHouse (Please remember that you will not be able to enter the venue between 8:30 and 9PM as we will be changing our door and security teams at that time).

 

 

After 9:00 PM the door team will encourage you to enter a space full of decadence, beauty, and pain.  Once they get you checked in, you can head straight to the dungeon and begin to play or you can stop off at the coat check, get a drink at the bar, and stay in the auditorium to watch the rope suspension artists at work. You can also dance your ass off on our dance floor, experience our new David Lynch lounge, or go play in the pet or wild animal play area! Once you exit the auditorium, you will see our littles playroom to your right, before you head to another bar and the dungeon.  In the dungeon, you will find our electricity masters along with plenty of play equipment (and a new interrogation space). You can also go to the downstairs dungeon for quieter play space, along with space for interrogation, a cuddle room, a lounge, and more equipment.  And please head outside to the heated tent. This space is often underutilized, so you can have more space to play!

 

And don’t forget to come back to the auditorium to watch the PUSH performers beginning at 10:45 PM:

 

Our Master of Ceremonies is the incomparable Sterling Maxwell, and our performances will take place in the following order

 

Mx. Princess Peritwinkle

Also, please note that in our effort to promote safe space, we have once again invited a team from Durham County Public Health to offer free HIV and STI testing, along with information on harm reduction. They will also give out free condoms and lube, and information regarding PREP. In addition, we have a professional medical team from Outlier Solutions, who not only offer emergency services, but also provide us with a psychological professional to discuss any anxieties that you have. In addition, if you are feeling a headache coming, or you feel dehydrated, they can help. Both DCPH and Outlier Solutions will be there after 9PM.

 

If you have any questions or concerns during the night, please feel free to ask any of the staff people. Dungeon Monitors will be wearing vest and badges that identify them, and they can get in touch with the hosts or security for anything that you need.
