Hayden James

Hayden James is giving Treasure Island a particularly good excuse to linger until sunset. His five-hour set at Aracely Garden runs from 4 to 9pm, putting his melodic house in an open-air setting with the Bay as part of the backdrop. The timing matters here: this is a daytime-to-evening party rather than a late-night club commitment, making it an appealing way to ease into the weekend without sacrificing the dance floor. James is also playing an after-party at Audio later that night, but the garden set has its own appeal, especially if you prefer electronic music with room to breathe. The 21-plus event is presented by All Day All Night and DJ Dials, with limited parking behind the venue and rideshare recommended for the trip to Treasure Island. For a Friday afternoon that stretches naturally into evening, this is a solid detour from the usual club circuit.
