Brujeria Carnaval 2026

About this event

Brujeria Carnaval is a four-day Halloween-themed Latin-dance festival taking place October 29–November 1, 2026, at the Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Quarter, located at 739 Canal Street. The event blends multiple styles: salsa, bachata, kizomba, zouk, hustle, and swing with a spooky holiday flair, billing itself as ‘the biggest Halloween dance party around.’

Daytime hours are packed with workshops and bootcamps led by international instructors, while night-time socials run into the early morning across several themed ballrooms, featuring guest DJs and live performances. Festival highlights include a Friday masquerade ball, a Saturday costume contest with prizes, and an optional Sunday outing through the French Quarter’s historic haunts.

Discounted on-site rooms start at $189 per night for pass holders, and both full-event passes and single-day tickets can be purchased online. All attendees must present photo ID at registration to receive a wristband. For vendor booths, sponsorships, or group rates, visit the event website.
