New York (Sept. 17, 2026) – After a sold-out inaugural event, the Empire State Building Observation Deck (ESBOD) today announced the return of its popular themed silent disco with four new dates on its iconic 86th Floor Observation Deck. Guests can dance 86 stories above New York City on select Saturdays from Sept. 19 through Oct. 17, 9-11 p.m.

“Our Silent Disco Nights invite guests to experience the 86th Floor Observation Deck in a new way, with a curated soundtrack and New York City’s best views all around them,” said Dan Rogoski, observatory general manager. “Each limited-capacity event pairs a high-energy dance party with the number one attraction in the U.S. for a unique NYC activity that guests can only find here.”

Themed nights include:
•    Sept. 19: Hispanic Heritage Month/Latin
•    Sept. 26: ‘80s/‘90s Throwbacks
•    Oct. 3: Hip-Hop/R&B/Rap
•    Oct. 17: EDM

Along with each night’s featured theme, guests can use wireless LED headphones to switch between Pop/Top 40, Hip-Hop, ‘80s/‘90s/Y2K, and Latin Music. A live DJ will lead each limited-capacity event with the 360-degree nighttime views of the New York City skyline.

Tickets – which start at $69 – include access to the immersive museum, the 86th Floor Observation Deck, and one pair of wireless LED silent disco headphones.

The Empire State Building Observation Deck was voted the #1 Top Attraction in the United States in Tripadvisor’s 2026 Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things to Do and underwent a $165 million reimagination that added a new immersive museum with nine galleries, bespoke host uniforms, and an upgraded 102nd Floor Observation Deck with unmatched views from the heart of New York City.
