Itās that time of year again, you know what Iām talking about, Halloween! One of my favorite seasons is fall, from the colors, the never-ending varieties of āpumpkin spiceā everything, but most of all, Escape! On this Hallo-Weekend (Friday October 25 and Saturday, October 26th), Insomniac Events pulls out all of the spooky stops with their lineup, performers, and experiences to be had at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, CA. From what Iāve heard, itās never disappointing, and always mind-blowing when it comes to this festival. Itāll be my first year attending Escape and I couldnāt be more excited! Iām literally counting down the days and am here to tell you why you wonāt wanna miss celebrating this year with thousands of other spooky headliners!
#1 The Lineup:
So of course, what weāre all here for, the music! This yearās lineup looks so rad, with four stages at Escape, itās insane how much talent they can pack into just two nights! Some of the sets Iām dying to catch are Eric Prydz, i_o, and Said the Sky. Just to name a few. But I always love roaming around and exploring different stages and discovering new music that I may have never given a chance before!

#2 Getting Dressed Up:
For me,Ā Dressing upĀ is one of my absolute favorite parts of any event that I attend. Personally, my everyday style and wardrobe is pretty neutral. But at raves, I get a chance to really go all out expressing myself with fun styles and makeup! And Escape is the perfect excuse to get even more creative with looks from cute and sparkly to dark and spooky, thereās no limit to the amazing looks you can create!

#3 The Performers:
Something Iāve noticed over the years when it comes to Insomniac Events is their attention to detail when it comes to everything. And the performers are one of the many things you wonāt want to take your eyes off of. Now mind you, as I mentioned, Iāve never attended Escape but I have spent many years dealing with infamous FOMO and looking at photos of performers of years passed for Escape and let me just say, they look SO crazy - in the best way. I honestly canāt wait to see all of the clowns, creatures, and absolute shock factor of it all in the flesh!Ā

#4 The Rides:
Now, from what Iāve seen in past photos and highlights, there seems to be a few ghoulishly fun rides featured at Escape, one of which Iām a total sucker for. And thatās the ferris wheel! Itās always a must ride for me at any event or carnival I attend and Iāve even seen that there has been a Carousel set up with the occasional ghoul or two riding alongside you too! How fun is that? Plus it makes for some amazing photo ops as well! Or even if you need a moment to rest your feet from all of the dancing we know weāll all be doing!

#5 The People:
Last, but certainly not least, another one of my favorite parts of these events and one of the things I look forward to most is the people. Whether youāre more of a people watcher, or you play to the crowd, thereās never a dull moment when it comes to these events. And Escape is no exception. One of the reasons I fell in love with raves is the instant sense of community and belonging among strangers, to always make a friend or share an experience like no other, to feel accepted regardless of it all. THATāS what keeps me coming back time and time again.
Iām seriously so excited for Escape Psycho Circus this year, and I canāt wait to finally see it all with my own eyes! The Halloween season holds such a dear place in my heart and Iām stoked to be able to celebrate it with Insomniac. If you still need to pick up tickets, hurry hurry! Escape tickets sell out quickly, so be sure to check out Insomniacās Website for all of the deets! See all of you booās nā ghouls soon!
