In 2012, at the beginning of a new era celebrated by the end of the Mayan calendar, a tradition was born in the jungle of Tulum.

Crowds of partygoers from all corners of the globe set out to come together in new ways, bringing their own unique perspectives, seeking an opportunity to reflect on the past year and renew a shared energy born from the collision of ancient and modern, creativity and hedonism.

The result was Day Zeroa party for eternity, created by the mind and team of Damian Lazarus. The party returns on January 11th with one of its most amazing lineups yet, announced today.
