Pride Vibes: Thrive

events, expired event

The green stripe in the 1979 modified, 6-color Pride Flag (created by Gilbert Baker) represented nature and growth. Now that The House of Fuego has relocated and has been given the support from our friends and community here, we have all the elements that will allow us to THRIVE here in Tampa Bay, hence the name of our Saturday Main Event.

And we couldn’t think of two DJs more fitting to headline this event than Joe Pacheco & Isis Muretech—two talented individuals who we’ve watched grow and thrive since our first introductions to them. These two have also been huge cheerleaders of the Fuego brand in instrumental in our own growth, both donating their time and talents during the pandemic for our livestream broadcasts, which united our community and gave it an outlet to connect when we were all feeling alone and isolated, all in the name of charity. They quickly became not just our friends, but our family.

Each of them will bring the FIRE and FLOURISH they’re known for individually, but for the first time ever, these two will premiere a special, back-to-back set at some point in the night; we’re not going to reveal when—you’ll just have to come early to ensure you don’t miss it.

In the meantime, check out a set from each of them below…

Pride Vibes: Pulse

From birth to death, your pulse confirms that you’re alive; it is the sign of life, of vitality, and nothing imitates the rhythmic palpitations of our heart better than the cadence of a drumbeat, of music.

And what better way to celebrate life than with music, am I right?

Join The House of Fuego and Guy Scheiman as they start the Pride Vibes Weekend on Friday night with a kickoff sure to make your pulse flutter and your heart skip a beat!

You won’t want to miss the planned special performance featuring Guy Scheiman and Tony Moran’s recent collaboration with Suzanne Palmer, “Praise Up.”

Full Mast: An Extended Gasparilla Saturday Event

events, expired event

For those who don’t know what Gasparilla is, it’s been a tradition in Tampa since 1904. For more than a century, the legendary pirate, José Gaspar, has invaded Tampa Bay every year, kicking off two treasure-filled months of parades, festivals, and other excitement. Starting with the nation’s third-largest parade and running through road races, to festivals featuring music, art, and film—the entire destination bursts with activities for everyone for eight weeks. This year, however, Gasparilla gains two TRUE circuit events, the first of which being Full Mast: A Gasparilla Saturday Extended Event, presented yours truly. Like the legendary buccaneer, José Gaspar, The House of Fuego invades Tampa Bay during Gasparilla Weekend. Join our mystical krewe as we raise our Jolly Rogers at FULL MAST and ignite the night to bring you an extended Saturday full of dancing, debauchery, and booty pilfering. Whether ye be a scallywag, seadog, or swashbuckler, all hands hoay for a night of great music. And worry not—though the night might be LIT, there will be plenty of playful dark places for you to heave ho or blow the man down. Gusttavo Farias will open and is sure to get your pirate booty shaking, while Alex Lo (Mexico) will be headlining the event.

Check recent set from Gusttavo & Alex below:

For the second TRUE circuit event during Gasparilla Weekend, join the boys of Orange Party for our Partner Event on Sunday with DJ Dan de Leon.

Batten down the hatches for the 29th of January. This is a celebration for not only the LGBTQ+ community of Tampa, but for everyone looking to dance in the daylight. On Gasparilla weekend, ship yourself to this Sunday Funday that’s a mix of the circuit party, dance festival, and waterside event of your dreams. The day after the beads is a bore, but here you’ll find all the booty on the dance floor.

Appetizers will be served and are included with your ticket purchase. Speedos are not included with admission, so make sure you sport poolside attire. Ensure your entry to join this krewe at the premiere of Tampa’s first Gasparilla Tea Dance Circuit Party. Citrusly, you don’t want to miss this.

Resurgence: A New Year’s White Masquerade

events, expired event

Although we’ve had a few events in Tampa and Saint Petersburg in 2022, The House of Fuego undergoes a renaissance, kicking off the 2023 year with a weekend of events for New Year’s Weekend, with its first event appropriately named Resurgence, like a phoenix from the ashes.

Join us at a brand new location we’ve partnered with in Ybor City, name is still yet unknown as they are going through renovations, located just south of Southern Nights, as we kick off the New Year with a night of great music, live performances, and more. This is a white-themed masquerade, so come dressed in white, silver, or gold. Masquerade and white attire is optional, but highly-encouraged.

We’ll kick off the night with beats provided by Ember and Southern Nights Orlando resident DJ, Edil Hernandez, originally hailing from Puerto Rico. During the pandemic in 2020, Edil partnered with us, alongside DJ Nina Flowers, for our event Encanto, a livestream event paying homage to Puerto Rico, La Isla del Encanto.

There will be countdown, followed by a ball drop, champagne toast, and performance at midnight, after which Brazilian DJ, Binho Uckermann, will take over. Be prepared for hign-energy beats guaranteed to keep you dancing the night away.

At 3am, a surprise, international DJ will take the reins and lead us on a high-energy, tribal journey to close out the night. Details on the surprise DJ will be announced the day of the party to ticket holders only, so if you want to know, you’ve got to go. *wink*

Below, you’ll find a sample set from both Edil and Binho.

There will a clothescheck and Private Play areas for you to take advantage of — until 6am!
