Trick or Treat Yourself: The 2026 Halloween EDM Festival Guide

From riverside camping runs in Florida to secret warehouse parties in San Diego, Halloween has become a widely celebrated holiday in the EDM community where attendees come in their best costumes and dance their hearts out. Here's our guide to where the bass drops in the 2026 spooky season and the best packs to pair with your costumes

Oct 22–25 — Hulaween

Location: Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, Live Oak, FL                                      Tickets: hulaween.frontgatetickets.com

Hulaween is a four-day camping festival on the Suwannee River that blends jam, bluegrass, and rock with heavy-hitting bass and electronic acts, so the crowd runs from hippie to hardstyle in the same day. The 2026 lineup pairs The String Cheese Incident, My Morning Jacket, and Warren Haynes with Pretty Lights, Excision, Gesaffelstein, Ben Böhmer, Big Gigantic, and Crankdat. 

Which Lunchbox pack to bring: Since hydration packs don't need to be clear here, the Lunchbox Hydration Pack or Hydration Sling would be great options to keep you hydrated and hold all your essentials. 

Oct 23–25 — Get Freaky

Location: The Great Saltair, Magna, UT (18+)                                                              Tickets: tixr.com — Get Freaky 2026

Get Freaky takes over the iconic Great Saltair on the shore of the Great Salt Lake for a high-production, costume-heavy bass weekend. The 2026 lineup leans hard into dubstep and house with Fisher, Subtronics, It's Murph, SVDDEN DEATH, Medza, LP Giobbi, TroyBoi, and Restricted (Aus). 

Which Lunchbox pack to bring: The Clear Hydration Pack is the safest call here — it satisfies both the hydration-pack allowance and the clear-bag rule at once, so there's no gray area with security.

Oct 30–31 — Escape: Psycho Circus

Location: NOS Events Center, San Bernardino, CA (18+)                                        Tickets: escapehalloween.com/tickets

Insomniac's flagship Halloween festival returns to NOS Events Center with its signature circus-meets-horror theming, elaborate stage production, and a bass-and-house-heavy lineup spread across multiple stages. 

Which Lunchbox pack to bring: As the official hydration pack partner and anti-theft partner for Insomniac, any of the hydration packs or collaboration packs will allow you to breeze through security as they all meet the bag policy requirements. 

Oct 30–31 — BOO! Seattle

Oct 30 – Nov 1 — Freakquency Festival

Location: Texas Star Warehouse, Dallas, TX (18+)                                                    Tickets: eventbrite.com — Freakquency Festival

A two-day techno and house-focused Halloween weekend across four stages with around 50 of Texas's best DJs, Freakquency leans into the warehouse-rave aesthetic rather than a big-name headliner bill.

Which Lunchbox pack to bring: With no bag policy confirmed, the Lunchbox Hydration Pack covers you for a two-day, four-stage marathon or swap to a Mini Pack or Sling Pack for a lighter carry.

Oct 30–31 — Freaky Deaky (Austin)

Oct 30 — Factory 93 presents ANOTR (WITHNESS)

Location: Ace*Mission Studios, Los Angeles, CA (21+)                                            Tickets: Factory 93 / Frontgate Tickets

ANOTR headlines a tech-house night under the 6th Street Bridge at Ace*Mission Studios — an underground warehouse setting rather than a festival ground, with Factory 93's usual stripped-down, sound-first production. 

Which Lunchbox pack to bring: No bag policy is published for this specific show. For a warehouse show where mobility matters more than capacity, the Sling Pack keeps you hands-free between the dance floor and the bar.

Oct 30–31 — Factory 93 Halloween Weekend

Location: Gold Bar Hangar, Alameda, CA                                                                    Tickets: Factory 93 / Frontgate Tickets

Which Lunchbox pack to bring: No bag policy has been published for this event. For back-to-back nights on a hangar floor, the Snack Pack fanny keeps essentials on you without weighing you down across two full sets.
