Afrobeats Day Party at The Melrose House, Nov 1

Halloween weekend ends on a dance floor this year. The Afrobeats Day Party, the Halloween Edition, takes over The Melrose House on Sunday, November 1, from 4 PM to 10 PM. It is a daylight-into-evening session built around Afrobeats, dancehall, reggae and amapiano, and it is one of the more inviting options for raves in Los Angeles that don't require staying out until sunrise.

When: Sunday, November 1, 2026, 4 PM to 10 PM Where: The Melrose House, 4216 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90029 Price: Free with RSVP before 5 PM, otherwise tickets from $15 Presented by: Enjoyment Worldwide

What to expect

The flyer bills the afternoon as a costume day party, so expect masks, outfits and a crowd that came to play along. The music moves between the genres listed for the night: the bounce of Afrobeats, the swing of dancehall and reggae, and the log-drum pulse of amapiano. Four to ten o'clock is a long window, which means you can arrive for the early warm-up, catch a peak set as the light fades, and still be home at a reasonable hour on a Sunday.

If you follow EDM in Los Angeles, this one sits at the club-music edge of the category. It is less about big-room drops and more about groove, call-and-response and dancing with friends. The organizer, Enjoyment Worldwide, runs parties built around that feel, and the poster also credits Tempo.

Getting there and practical info

The Melrose House is at 4216 Melrose Avenue, on the east side of the city near Hollywood and Silver Lake. Street parking nearby can fill up on a weekend afternoon, so rideshare or transit saves some hassle. The free tier is tied to an early RSVP before 5 PM, and paid tickets start at $15. Check the Eventbrite page for the current tier, since prices tend to step up as the day approaches.

Bring ID, comfortable shoes and a costume if you feel like it. Door policies, age limits and bag rules are set by the venue and promoter, so confirm them on the ticket page before you go.
