This creative extravaganza is sure to be both amazing and action packed! At any one of RAW's events you could enjoy performances by up-and-coming bands, catch a fashion show by an emerging designer, dance to beats from the hottest DJs in town and more. The festivities will start at 9:30pm with a film screening of Beatrice by Javier Hernandez, followed by two more hours of awesomeness.
