Dreamcast Rave: Survival Horror Edition at High Tide

Halloween night in downtown has a lot of options, and this one comes with a theme most of them lack. Dreamcast Rave: Survival Horror Edition turns the Sega console's orange swirl into a dance floor, with the creepy side of late-90s gaming as the costume brief. If you like your holiday part nostalgia and part spooky, it is one of the more specific raves in Los Angeles this Halloween.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM Where: High Tide, 605 East 4th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013 Price: $0.00 to $23.18 on Eventbrite, depending on the ticket tier Presented by: Holiday Kirk and The Nu Metal Agenda

What to expect

The flyer bills the night as "Holiday Kirk and The Nu Metal Agenda Presents" and lists balloonxm alongside Holiday Kirk. The Eventbrite page describes the vibe in one line: "Remember, it's just a game." Beyond that, the organizers haven't published a full set schedule, so treat the lineup as the two names above and check the ticket page for updates.

The art points to a horror-game look. Expect a dark room, red lighting and people dressed as survival-horror characters, though the listing doesn't spell out a costume contest or any specific production. Dress for a Halloween dance floor either way, and bring something you can move in until close.

Getting there

High Tide sits on East 4th Street near the Arts District edge of downtown. Parking on a Saturday night near the Arts District fills up quickly, so a rideshare or the Metro A Line to Little Tokyo is the easier plan, particularly since the night runs until 2:00 AM. If you drive, budget for paid lots.

Ticket prices span from free to $23.18, so the cheaper tiers may go first. Buy ahead through the official Eventbrite page rather than counting on the door. Check the listing for any age restriction before you go.
