Giselle Peppers w/ Malcolm Flex at Townhouse Venice

Halloween weekend kicks off in Venice on Friday, October 30, when Giselle Peppers takes the decks at Townhouse with Malcolm Flex flying in from New York. The party runs 10 PM to 2 AM, and it is a good pick if you are scanning for LA events this weekend that skip the festival crowds and stay close to the sand.

When: Friday, October 30, 2026, 10 PM to 2 AM Where: Townhouse Venice, 52 Windward Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90291 Price: $12.36 on DICE

What to expect

Giselle Peppers runs a recurring night at Townhouse that she describes as rooted in Latin rhythms and urban textures, with a guest DJ each month. This month's guest is Malcolm Flex. The flyer promises hip-hop, R&B, Caribbean, Latin, throwbacks and more, so expect a dance floor driven by singalong records and groove rather than a four-on-the-floor marathon. If you are looking for EDM in Los Angeles with more swing and more party-starting classics, this is the lane.

The flyer leans into the holiday with a red-and-black, masked-figure design, and the invitation is to come celebrate Halloween weekend in Venice Beach. Costumes are not mentioned in the listing, but on this weekend nobody will blink if you show up dressed up. Dress for a bar night and check the ticket page for any door rules before you go.

About the venue

Townhouse sits at 52 Windward Avenue, a block from the Venice boardwalk, and has been pouring drinks since 1915, which makes it the oldest bar in Venice. Downstairs is the Del Monte Speakeasy, a low-ceilinged room with a long history. Read more on the Townhouse Venice venue page.

Getting there

Windward Avenue is the heart of Venice, so parking is tight on a holiday weekend. Plan on a rideshare, or park farther inland and walk. The bar is close to the boardwalk, which makes it easy to make an evening of it and pair dinner nearby with the late set. Tickets are sold through DICE, and the listed price is $12.36 at the time of writing, so grab one ahead rather than gamble on the door.
