The evening program presupposes celebrating New Year every night. To make it real there is a decorated Christmas tree, garlands, sparklers, champagne in midnight, happy faces of the guests and the lively atmosphere of a holiday.
Dance floor of the Purga is not large enough to accommodate all those willing to dance to fashionable electronic music. The audience is quite extravagant - one can meat a girl wearing a wedding dress and Martin's shoes or a young man in official suit, wearing red gym-shoes and red wig.
