2000s Halloween Costume Party at High Tide DTLA

Halloween weekend starts a night early at High Tide DTLA. On Friday, October 30, the venue throws a 2000s Halloween costume party built around hip-hop, R&B, club classics and today's hits, with space both inside and outside. If you are sorting through things happening in Los Angeles before the holiday, this is the free, no-fuss pick for anyone who wants to dance in a costume.

When: Friday, October 30, 2026, 10 PM to 2 AM Where: High Tide, 605 E 4th St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 Price: Free with RSVP before 10:30 PM Ages: 21+

What to expect

The listing promises a full night of Y2K favorites and Halloween energy: 2000s hip-hop and R&B mixed with current hits. The flyer leans into the era with a cartoon slider phone, a dripping blood border and a friendly ghost, and it bills the night as "2000's & Today's Hits." No DJs or hosts are named on the listing, so the music is the draw. Expect the songs that ruled radio and house parties around the time flip phones were the height of technology.

The event page says to come dressed up and bring your crew. Costumes are the whole point, and a 2000s look is an easy route: low-rise jeans, a velour tracksuit, a trucker hat, oversized shades or a bedazzled tee. A classic ghost, vampire or cartoon character fits in just as well. Wear shoes you can dance in, since this is a standing party.

Getting in

Entry is through DICE. The flyer and listing both say free with RSVP before 10:30 PM, and the page also mentions a limited number of early bird tickets. The listing urges guests to arrive early, which makes sense for a free list at a popular holiday party. Bring a valid government ID, because the night is 21 and over.

Getting there

High Tide sits at 605 E 4th St in Downtown LA, on the eastern edge of the core near Little Tokyo and the Arts District. Rideshare is the easiest way to avoid hunting for parking on a busy night, and the Metro A and E lines stop in Little Tokyo, a short walk away. It is a good fit for anyone browsing LA nightlife for Halloween plans that do not cost a cover.

Pricing, times and entry rules can change as the date gets closer, and the DICE page is the only source we have for this one, so confirm the details there before you head out. For more nights like it, check the upcoming events Los Angeles has on the nightlife page and the Downtown LA guide.
