La Bellevilloise shifts into Fiesta de Los Muertos mode for Halloween 2026

A skeleton dancing salsa, a masked luchador weaving through the crowd, and reggaeton blasting late into the night: at la Bellevilloise, Halloween goes Latino. Fiesta de Los Muertos returns to the 20th arrondissement for a true immersion into the heart of Latin American music. Saturday, October 31, 2026, the four spaces of the Paris venue will be alive until 6 a.m. with concerts, DJ sets, showcases, and a few surprises.

In El Barrio Tropical, cumbia and salsa will dominate, kicking off with a beginner’s workshop before handing the stage to live performers and DJs. Further on, the Zona del Perreo will bring a markedly more urban vibe, powered by reggaeton, dembow, and baile funk. Another room will cater to lovers of salsa, merengue and bachata, while a dedicated space for tropical bass and global electronic music completes the lineup.

A professional wrestling ring right in the middle of the party

A quirky plot twist for this Halloween night: a lucha libre ring is going to be set up right in the heart of La Bellevilloise. This spectacular form of Mexican wrestling relies heavily on theatrics, larger-than-life characters, and above all the famous masks worn by the luchadores.

Makeup and Mexican fare to complete the Halloween celebration

No costume? Don’t panic. A makeup station should let visitors finish their transformation on the spot. Mexican cuisine, provided by Zicatela, should delight foodies, and the night also features screenings and several activities spread across the venue’s various spaces.

While the party will go ahead on Halloween night, it draws on Día de los Muertos, and it’s important to distinguish this Halloween event from the Mexican tradition itself. Celebrated mainly on November 1 and 2, Día de los Muertos is a cultural, family-centered holiday dedicated to remembering the dead. Here, that inspiration serves as the launchpad for a major Latino celebration planned for Halloween night.
