Halloween 2026 at El Squid Roe
On Saturday, October 31, 2026, El Squid Roe throws the biggest costume party in downtown Cabo San Lucas: three floors of DJs and live entertainment, a crowd of travelers and locals in full character, and the anything-goes energy that has made this Marina landmark on Blvd. Lázaro Cárdenas 1112 world-famous since 1989.
Costumes are encouraged, never required. Walk in dressed up and your welcome shot is on the house. Walk in wearing jeans and you're still at the best Halloween party in Los Cabos.
The theme is a secret
Every year the whole venue transforms around a new theme, and every year we keep it quiet until the doors open. In 2024 it was CarnEvil, a haunted carnival of killer clowns and freak-show acts. In 2025 it was Weekend of the Dead, where Halloween ran straight into Día de Muertos.
This year's theme? You find out when you walk in. That's half the fun: no spoilers and no need to match anything. Come as whatever you want (scary, funny, clever or last-minute) and let the room surprise you.
The costume contest
Yes, there's a costume contest. The crowd brings its A-game every year, with full builds, group costumes and face paint that took hours, and the best ones get called up in front of the whole club. Start planning yours now.
When is Halloween 2026
Halloween is October 31 every year; in 2026 that's Saturday, October 31, 2026. The party at El Squid Roe starts at night and runs into the early hours, and the next day Cabo keeps celebrating with Día de Muertos.
The holiday traces back to Samhain, the Celtic festival when people lit bonfires and wore costumes on the night the line between the living and the dead was said to thin. It crossed to North America and became today's night of costumes and parties. In Mexico it runs right into Día de Muertos (November 1–2), so the end of October in Cabo San Lucas is a back-to-back stretch of costumes, catrinas and celebration.
Book your table before it sells out
Halloween is one of the busiest nights of the year downtown and the line on Lázaro Cárdenas gets long. A bottle-service VIP table guarantees your group a spot, express entry past the line and full service all night, and your online deposit counts 100% toward your tab.
The party doesn't stop on the 31st. The next day, Cabo celebrates Día de Muertos, and so do we.
