after-parties

Events following events

After-parties are gatherings that follow a main event—a concert, wedding, awards ceremony, or club night.

They're typically smaller, more intimate, and often more raucous than the preceding event: The real fun happened at the after-party.

After-parties extend the night for those not ready to go home, frequently lasting into early morning hours.
