House Party: Mic Drop! is KST’s 18th annual benefit returning as a karaoke fundraiser supporting our fall 2026 season. A tradition that stretches from Harlem to Pittsburgh, house parties have long brought people together to raise funds, raise spirits, and raise each other. Bring your main character energy, because the mic is gonna be hot! 

Donate to Vote and dare celebrity singers to perform the most outrageous songs of the night. Your vote helps select their song, and your donation directly supports KST’s fall programming of performances, artist residencies, gallery exhibitions, and youth programs. Celebrity singers announced soon!

As the night unfolds, have your moment in the karaoke spotlight, with the celebration going all night alongside the lobby Dance Party powered by legendary DJ Selecta. Lock eyes across the dance floor and sing the bridge like you mean it at House Party: Mic Drop!
