Get ready for Miami’s spookiest weekend yet! As Halloween unfolds, the city transforms into a playground for music, art, and costume lovers alike. Head over to Jolt Radio's 14th-anniversary bash on October 31 for a massive spooky synth-fueled celebration featuring live DJs, food, games, and even a Mystic District market.
Those craving a dose of magic will love the Akelarre: Witches of Miami party at Gramps, where bands like Angelica Noir and Wicked Playground team up with tarot readers and a photo booth for a night under the moon. And if you're looking for the ultimate Halloween rave, Factory Town’s Halloweek pulls out all the stops with four stages, techno and house beats, and a haunted warehouse that will leave you wanting more.
Festivities don't stop there. Start November right with the annual Day of the Dead celebration on November 2, where giant skeleton puppets, live Latin music, and traditional folk dances bring life to the streets in true Mexican/Miami style. For a more alternative vibe, check out the 37th Anniversary Block Party at Respectable Street, with an eclectic lineup featuring Drab Majesty, Jacuzzi Boys, and other indie favorites across six stages.
Whether you’re in the mood for a mellow evening with Afro Blue’s jazz homage on Sunday or want to relive the emo anthems of Say Anything’s iconic album Is a Real Boy on Friday, this weekend has a little bit of everything. Here's our guide to the top happenings from October 31 to November 03:
