Who We Are

Not your average day party.

Please Leave By 8 is a throwback day party — nostalgic hits, feel-good energy, and a dancefloor that's already packed by 4pm. No late nights, no next-day regrets. Just a few hours of pure chaos with your people, then everybody's home for dinner.

Hosted and DJ'd by Kelly Crawford, every party is built around one rule: leave the room better than you found it.

The Recap

This is what it feels like

We said please leave by 8. Y'all almost didn't.

Glow sticks, song requests, and way too much dancing for 4pm — this is the energy every Please Leave By 8 brings to the room.
