For the TSE 2019 Closing Night Party at Parq, the front section of Parq nightclub was turned into a "neon jungle" theme. "We created large floral arrangements with green neon rope wrapped through them," Fox explains. "We also placed green neon rope through out the walls in the front entrance. Social Lights helped us create this look on the walls."
