This year’s Halloween affair, presented by 1WIN returns to LA after a New York Pop up in 2025 hosted by Nina Dobrev, and a previous LA run hosted by Alessandra Ambrosio and Doja Cat back to back, establishing it as one of the globally hottest Halloween parties to attend. It is so in demand, that girls are posting tiktok videos campaigning for guest list entry and approval on their Rumor RSVP app submissions.

This year, Dzienciol paired with Hudgens, a staple figure each Halloween on social media and known for her own spooky season signature bashes, for the 2026 affair, also co-hosted by her Caliwater co-founder Oliver Trevena, with a special guest DJ set by Zack Bia (who has recently been linked to Alix Earle and prior Olivia Rodrigo). The party will also feature surprise performances to be announced, always on a major level. Past performers have included everyone from Don Toliver to Bia to Tyga to Doja Cat to Diplo to Shaboozey to G-Eazy to Future, so there will be no shortage of talent in the room. From supermodels to actors to top influencers, it will be another legendary Halloween bash by Darren, not to be missed, with a guest list that always reads like a who’s who of IT girl status.

The 2026 bash is powered by LALO Tequila, plus Tito’s Vodka, Caliwater (Hudgens brand with ambassadors like Demi Lovato and Benson Boone), plus powered by 1WIN, Butter Bun, Rumor and more, contributing to an epic night ahead. With Caliwater as a key partner, we would not be surprised to see Demi Lovato, who has also hosted many Halloween parties herself.

Being held at an undisclosed location in West Hollywood on Melrose Avenue, Darren is converting a blank space into his ultimate 2026 Haunted Hotel vision, for a frightening hotel experience to have partygoers clamouring at every turn.
The party kicks off at 9:00pm, slated to go until “late” which it definitely will based on years past.
