Misfits LA Disco Luau: Spooky Edition at High Tide

Halloween season has a way of pulling every costume idea out of the closet, and Misfits LA has picked an odd and appealing pairing for it: a beach luau crossed with a haunted house. The Spooky Disco Luau lands at High Tide in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, October 10, with the party running from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. It is listed as free on DICE, and it doubles as a birthday party for Misfits LA Magazine, which is celebrating its first anniversary.

If you are scrolling for LA events this weekend that don't require a festival-sized budget or a three-hour drive, this one is worth a look. It is a themed dance night in a neighborhood with plenty of food and drink options before or after.

What the Night Looks Like

The flyer lists the sound as house, disco, hard groove and nostalgia. That's a friendly lane: four-on-the-floor grooves, vintage disco samples and the kind of throwback cuts that get a whole room singing along. No lineup was published on the event page, so expect a resident-style night built around the Misfits crew's taste rather than a single headliner. This is a good sample of EDM in Los Angeles at neighborhood scale, where the vibe and the crowd matter as much as the booking.

The dress code is part of the fun. The flyer asks for tropical, groovy and spooky attire, so think a Hawaiian shirt with a skeleton print, a lei over a witch hat, or glow-in-the-dark florals. Nobody has to commit to a full costume, but leaning in will make the night feel better.

Practical Details

The night is 21+, so bring a valid ID. The DICE page lists it at no cost, and DICE is the place to claim your spot ahead of time. Free events with a themed crowd can fill up, so showing up early is smart.

The venue is High Tide, at 605 East 4th Street in downtown Los Angeles, a few blocks from the Arts District and Little Tokyo. Parking in this part of downtown is a mix of paid lots and metered street spots, and a rideshare is the easier call if you plan on drinking. The Metro A Line stops at Little Tokyo/Arts District station, a short walk from the address, though late-night service is worth checking before you rely on it.

Since the party runs until 2 a.m., pace yourself. Doors-to-close is a five-hour stretch, and the best dancing at a night like this often happens after midnight.
