Samhain XXVI Is a 13-Hour Halloween Party at Tangent Gallery
Samhain XXVI runs from 9pm on Saturday 31 October to 9am on Sunday 1 November 2026 at Tangent Gallery, Detroit. The clock change gives it 13 hours across two rooms, the Ballroom and the Dark Room, with Eris Drew & Octo Octa (Alchemical Sisters), Lakuti x Tama Sumo, Forcefield, Mike Servito and Mozhgan on the bill. Entry is 21+.
Detroit nights at the end of October are around 44°F (7°C) and colder by 9am. The party is indoors, so layer for arrival and the morning exit.
What to Wear to Samhain: Dark Clubwear and Witchy Layers
Samhain is about transformation, not costumes, so dress for the dance floor first. All-black outfits like the Black Mesh Full Body Costume or Black Ribbon Cut Out Jumpsuit suit the Dark Room, while gothic clothing like Phantom Serpent adds sheer layers and movement.
If you want a nod to Halloween, try a witch look like Forest Witch or Violet Witch, or a dark skeleton print.
Dressing for 13 Hours
Pick breathable pieces you can wear from night to morning: mesh, stretch sets and a layer for the exit. Samhain hasn't published costume, mask, prop or bag rules, so keep it simple and check the official page before you go.
