Pickleball Under Blacklights: Pickleball meets nightlife at Rave & Pickle, a glow-in-the-dark pickleball experience at Sip & Pickle Wynwood Marketplace. Running every Friday and Saturday through March 29, the event has become a must-attend spectacle, with every session selling out since its launch on February 28.
A Glow-in-the-Dark Pickleball Party
Guests play on three blacklight-lit courts, with neon-painted lines creating a futuristic, Tron-like atmosphere. A live DJ keeps the energy high as players, decked out in LED bracelets, UV-reactive outfits, and glow gear, rally with glow-in-the-dark pickleballs.
“We wanted to give local players what they asked for… extended hours and a new, exciting twist on the game,” said Michael Davidson, vice president of Swarm, the event agency behind Rave & Pickle. “It’s one more way of enjoying the space and sport, and so far, it’s been very well received.”
A Unique Fusion of Pickleball and Nightlife
Unlike traditional pickleball events, Rave & Pickle transforms the sport into an immersive, high-energy social experience. Organizers recommend bringing personal gear, though a glow-in-the-dark ball is included.
