If Burning Man and Halloween had a child it would be these events at the end of October. From City of Gods Festival weekend to Vampire Ball and a Dia de los Muertos rave, your October is about to be filled with lots of lasers, immersive art, and beat drops!
Get the lowdown on all of these incredible Halloween events at Industry City at 571 2nd Avenue in Brooklyn. (All events below are 21+).
City of Gods Festival Weekend
From Oct 24th-25th, this two-night immersive halloween festival has 10 stages of music and interactive art to explore. Costumes are mandatory and the crowd tends to go all out with over the top looks. You can even walk the runway-style costume contest for big prizes!
The music lineup is always kept secret. It is a long held tradition of City of Gods to encourage guests to explore and wander freely from stage to stage without feeling the pressure to chase a specific artist or schedule. City of Gods goes from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. both days.
There are 2-night passes beginning at $249, general admission single-night tickets range from $99-$199. Go here for more details on tickets.

Dia de los Muertos
NYC gets a taste of Mexican tradition on Nov 1st. Two Burning Man camps from Mexico City – Mayan Warrior and Maxa – team up to create a one of a kind Dia de los Muertos party to celebrate the portals open between worlds and weave those dimensions together.
The lineup features top selectors of underground house and techno – Damian Lazarus, Adam Ten, Vanjee and Le Président – as well as a larger-than-life ofrenda and a mezcal tasting bar. The invitation of this day is simple: fully become who you came here to be, go here for tickets and details.
