REAL NIGHT CLUB EXPERIENCE WITHOUT ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
Hosted at Bossanova Ballroom in Portland, Detox was a bold, nightlife-style event.
Created specifically for teens—offering the energy of a real club experience without alcohol, drugs, or unsafe environments. Featuring live DJs, intelligent lighting, lounge seating, and branded energy drinks, the event offered a safe and inclusive space, particularly welcoming to LGBTQ+ youth.
STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS
CHALLENGE
Create a nightlife experience that felt authentic, edgy, and fun to teens—without compromising on safety, security, or positive messaging.
INSIGHT
Teen audiences don’t want a watered-down version of adult nightlife—they want a space that feels designed for them, with real production value and energy, but in a safe, affirming environment.
SOLUTION
Treadway designed and produced a full club environment, including live DJ performances, club-grade lighting, custom signage, photo stations, and a mocktail + energy drink bar. We implemented strict entry protocols and onsite security, ensuring a safe, judgment-free space where teens could dance, hang out, and feel like they belonged.
RESULTS
Hundreds of teens attended nightly, with zero safety incidents and overwhelmingly positive feedback from both attendees and parents. Detox proved that youth nightlife could be fun, inclusive, and secure—and served as a successful proof of concept for teen-targeted event formats across the region
