This weekend, Hocus Pocus returns to Factory Town, Miami’s industrial playground, from Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1, 2026. The 18+ Halloween festival will feature over 100 artists across five stages, with single-day and three-day passes available. Attendees can expect a delightful and chaotic weekend of dancing.
This year, for the sixth edition of Hocus Pocus, the lineup features artists like AYYBO, ChaseWest, Eli Escobar, Eric Prydz, Gorgon City, Meduza, Prospa, and Purple Disco Machine, to name a few. The festival also hosts an impressive array of B2B sets, including Jamie Jones B2B Franky Rizardo, Âme B2B Marcel Dettmann, Odd Mob B2B Cassian, and Kevin Saunderson B2B Julya Karma. Attendees and interested parties can find the lineup by day on Factory Town’s website.
Still trying to decide if you’re in? We can help.
Choose your ticket: single-day or three-day
Tickets are available directly from Factory Town through DICE. Release tiers and availability can change as Halloween approaches, so open the current listing for the date and admission tier you want before comparing prices. Official ticket options
If, after checking the day-by-day lineups, you’re still uncertain of what you want to do, pass price may help guide you. Be sure to check CrowdVolt, too, to compare resale listings. Compare the final totals for the same dates and admission tier, and read each listing’s delivery terms before buying. Browse Factory Town events
If you’re not a 305 resident, considering travel and accommodation costs will be helpful, too. Drinks, add-on packages, food in and outside the venue, and afterparties are key pieces to consider.
Miami is a fun but expensive place, and not a place many of us want to say “No,” in while visiting. And if you’re traveling with a group for the event, be sure to lock down your plan before purchasing tickets.
Compare the same pass on both platforms. Prices and availability can change, and resale is not always cheaper:

GA vs. VIP: decide which benefits you will use
Hocus Pocus 2026 offers GA and VIP passes. Perks associated with VIP include elevated viewing at Infinity Room and The Park, dedicated bars, seating and air-conditioned restrooms. Official ticket descriptions
Treat the upgrade as a separate decision from how many nights to attend. You may prefer a single night with the amenities you value, or several nights at a lower admission tier.
Ask three practical questions:
- Will your group buy the same tier? If some friends choose GA, decide whether you are comfortable splitting up.
- Which benefit changes your night? A specific viewing area, a place to sit or a different restroom arrangement is a clearer reason to upgrade than the word “VIP.”
- What does the ticket explicitly include? Do not interpret a VIP label as a reserved table, complimentary drinks or unrestricted backstage access.
You must be 21+ to purchase a VIP table. A table reservation and a VIP admission ticket are different products, so check the individual conditions and don’t expect the world unless you see it in writing. Festival age guidance
Re-entry needs a festival-specific check
Hocus Pocus only allows re-entry for VIP-passholders. Factory Town's general venue FAQ instead states no re-entry. Use the festival's specific guidance and reconfirm it before planning to leave. Hocus Pocus FAQ · General venue FAQ
Plan the costume around getting through the door
Masks are permitted, but glass and ceramic masks are not. Your face must be recognizable against your government-issued ID, which is required for entry. The festival also restricts weapon-like props and costumes resembling public-safety uniforms. Costume rules
Try the outfit on with the bag and shoes you intend to use, and remember, this is a music festival… in Miami. You’ll want to be able to move and groove, ideally for hours at a time. Be sure you can walk and dance comfortably, as well as reach your phone and ID without removing half your costume. Leave an uncertain prop at home or ask the venue about that exact item before travelling.
With that being said, it’s Halloweekend in Miami. Go hard. Get creative. Feel sexy or at least free, and be ready to dance it out.
Plan your arrival and trip home
Factory Town is at 4800 NW 37th Avenue, Miami. The venue has no onsite parking and recommends rideshare. Venue directions and parking guidance
Save the address, review the event's current arrival instructions and agree on a meeting point with your group. Doors may not open at the same time each day, so check social media and the Factory Town site day-of for updates.
For getting home or to your second location, keep enough phone battery to contact friends and find your ride. Decide whether everyone is leaving together before you separate inside. Factory Town covers a large site and will be full of people. Planning ahead as much as possible will be helpful for getting in and out.
Before anyone in the group pays
Share the exact date, admission tier, quantity and entry conditions, not just a screenshot of a price. Each person should know what they are agreeing to buy.
Keep ticket delivery separate from the payment conversation. A receipt does not establish that every attendee has access to their admission ticket. If someone needs to transfer a ticket, our resale and transfer guide explains what to check in the original provider's account. Follow the event's permitted options.
Ready to compare options? CrowdVolt's Factory Town page brings together Hocus Pocus single-day and three-day event listings. Open the dates you plan to attend, then compare available tickets at the same admission tier including fees. Check each listing's entry conditions and delivery terms before buying.
Is a three-day pass always better value?
Not always. Compare its total against only the nights you intend to attend. Add the travel and accommodation consequences of extending the trip before calling the difference a saving. Who you are matters, too. Consider your personal finances and general experience of F.O.M.O. For some, a bit more for the promise of a full weekend of dancing is worth it. We get those people…
Is VIP worth it?
Only if you want to use the included benefits independently. Decide what you want individually before locking anything down with your group; an upgrade can complicate a group plan, and some may opt out.
Can I upgrade GA to VIP after arriving?
The festival FAQ directs guests to the box office or the VIP upgrade tent near Infinity Room. It does not promise a price or availability, so confirm both before relying on an upgrade for amenities or re-entry. Official upgrade guidance
Is food and drinking water available inside?
Yes. The festival lists food vendors and water refill stations. Check the current container rules before packing; refill access does not mean every bottle or hydration pack is permitted. Festival food and water information
Can two people split a weekend pass across different nights?
Ask the original ticket provider whether the exact pass can be reassigned between days and whether any prior use affects eligibility. A multi-day product is not automatically a bundle of separate tickets.
