The Boulet Brothers' 26th Annual Los Angeles Halloween Ball

The Boulet Brothers' 26th Annual Los Angeles Halloween Ball returns on Saturday, October 31, and it takes over all three floors of the Globe Theatre on South Broadway in Downtown LA. The hosts call it a haunted mansion dance party, with monstrous glamour on the stage and the dance floors packed below it. For Halloween nightlife in Los Angeles that goes past a standard club night, this is the big costume-and-spectacle option.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Where: Globe Theatre Los Angeles, 740 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90014 Age: 21+ Tickets: General admission from $49, VIP from $99. Prices rise in stages, so the early tiers are the cheapest.

The lineup

Poppy, a two-time Grammy nominee, headlines the music with a DJ set. DJ Mateo Segade plays the main floor.

The underground parties HUMP Events and VICE join the Boulet Brothers for the takeover. HUMP Events brings an army of go-go monsters. VICE runs the Basement of Sin with headliner FLABBERGAST, Nite Crème and DJ Naté, along with its hosts, dancers and ghouls.

Halloween Stage Spectacular

The stage show stars the Boulet Brothers with Rasputin's Marionettes and their human-sized puppets. House of Ninja performs a vogue show, and Jake Dupree closes out the program with a Halloween burlesque revue.

Costume contest

The Ball's costume contest is open to costumed guests of every kind, with a $1,000 cash grand prize. The organizers note that past winners have gone on to be cast on The Boulet Brothers' Dragula. Plan the costume for a long night on a crowded dance floor, and bring a valid ID, since this is a 21+ event.

Planning your night

Tickets are sold through Ticket Tailor, and the organizers' event page lists the current price tier. The Globe sits on South Broadway in the historic theater district, so rideshare drop-off and late-night parking are worth sorting out before you go.
