Hope you have your costume ready — trust us, locals have been planning for months — because the Noche de los Muertos party at Alys Beach is one of the most surreal and larger-than-life costume parties you’ll ever witness.

The fun begins at Caliza Pool on Friday, October 30, at 8 p.m. and will go on until 11:30 p.m. Come dressed in your spooky best for the Night of the Dead Costume Party, and you stand a chance to win a $1,000 Cash Prize for Best Costume.

There will be live music featuring DJ Lady Muse. Entry is strictly for 21 and above, and costumes are required. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Children’s Volunteer Health Network.

TICKETS: Tickets are $50 and can be purchased online at nochedelosmuertos.com until 5 p.m. on Friday, October 30, or at the Alys Beach Bike Shop, the Alys Shoppe, or Fonville Press. Tickets will be also available at the door for $60.

CABANAS: Bring your squad and enjoy bottle service in a private cabana. Includes tickets for 14 guests, with official Noche Tervis Tumblers for each, and the first bottle of liquor and mixers prepared for your arrival. Up to 6 additional guests who have already purchased a general admission ticket may join you in your cabana.

Cabana tickets are $1500, and can be purchased online at nochedelosmuertos.com.
