When and Where Is Hottieween 2026?
Hottieween 2026 takes place on Friday, October 30, at Zouk Nightclub, located inside Resorts World Las Vegas. The event runs from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. and is restricted to guests aged 21 and older. Costumes are mandatory, making the celebration as much about fashion and creativity as the music.
General admission tickets have been listed at approximately $125-$175, with VIP options also available. The event is presented as a major Halloween production rather than a conventional nightclub appearance, with Megan promising an experience that takes the party “to a whole other dimension.”
What Is the Theme of Hottieween 2026?
This year’s theme is “Thee Circus Is Coming.” Megan takes on the role of ringleader, transforming Zouk into a theatrical circus filled with exclusive performances and elaborate visual elements.
The production includes a collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, bringing acrobatic and theatrical performances into the Halloween celebration. South African Amapiano DJ and producer Uncle Waffles joins as a special guest, adding her energetic sound to the night’s entertainment.
Megan’s Chicas Divertidas tequila will also be part of the festivities. Beyond the entertainment, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Pete & Thomas Foundation, the nonprofit she established in honor of her late parents to support education, housing, wellness and underserved communities, particularly in Houston.
Thee Hottieween Trailer: Megan’s Horror-Inspired Circus
The 2026 celebrations began building anticipation on October 28 with the release of Thee Hottieween Trailer, a black-and-white horror short developed with input from Megan’s fans. Through a dedicated Facebook group, she invited her Hotties to submit creepy found-footage clips featuring fog, mysterious figures and unsettling circus imagery, as well as ideas for frightening animal masks.
The finished trailer places Megan inside a nightmarish big top, where she transforms into a towering giantess known as “Thee Grown Ass Woman.” Its visual direction draws on the atmosphere of American Horror Story, Tim Burton’s surreal style and classic German Expressionist horror.
Hottieween History: From 2019 to 2025
Hottieween began in 2019 with the three-part YouTube series Megan Thee Stallion P.I. in Hottieween, directed by Teyana Taylor and featuring Dave East. Megan played a private investigator hunting a gang of womanizing vampires in Stallion County, introducing a horror-comedy concept that reflected her love of Halloween and elaborate costumes.
The project soon developed into live parties, with early celebrations in Los Angeles and Atlanta. In 2021 and 2022, the events continued in Los Angeles, attracting guests including Normani, Ella Mai and Tessa Thompson.
For 2023, Megan brought a Tim Burton-inspired theme to Atlanta, incorporating imagery from Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and Alice in Wonderland. She appeared as a giant talking flower, while Victoria Monét, GloRilla, Offset, John Boyega and Ludacris were among the guests.
The following year, Hottieween moved to Chicago’s TAO, where Megan arrived in a zombie-showgirl costume. The event also placed a stronger emphasis on charity, with proceeds supporting the Pete & Thomas Foundation. In 2025, she brought the celebration to the Houston area for the first time, hosting a costume-mandatory Halloween concert in Humble, Texas. The hometown edition featured performances of “Savage,” “Body” and “Her,” with proceeds once again benefiting her foundation.
Megan Thee Stallion’s Halloween Costumes and Pumpkin Tradition
Hottieween is only one part of Megan’s annual Halloween celebrations. The rapper has built a parallel tradition around elaborate personal costumes, frequently drawing inspiration from horror films, anime and comic books.
Her previous transformations have included Pinhead from Hellraiser, Mirko from My Hero Academia, Death the Kid from Soul Eater, Sailor Moon and Starfire. She also regularly marks the beginning of spooky season with her signature pumpkin-head photoshoot, placing a carved jack-o’-lantern over her head. The tradition returned in October 2026 with a blonde wig attached to the pumpkin.
