Hocus Pocus 2026, billed this year as Hocus Pocus 2026: Dystopia Halloween, takes place on Friday, October 30, Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1, 2026 at Factory Town, 4800 NW 37th Ave in Hialeah, just north of Miami International Airport. It is the sixth edition of the venue's Halloween festival, presented by Factory Town, which now operates with Insomniac (the Factory Town site footer carries the Insomniac Holdings copyright and Magnetic Magazine credits the lineup to "Factory Town and Insomniac"). The official DICE listings, checked 3 Oct 2026, put doors at 10:00 PM each night with the event running until 7:00 AM, and the official FAQ says the event is 18+ with a valid government-issued photo ID required at the door and 21+ to buy alcohol or a VIP table.

In total the official page lists 78 slots (several of them back-to-back pairings), which is how Factory Town gets to its "100+ artists" figure, and the official FAQ notes the lineup is subject to change. Magnetic Magazine reports that Miami crews getbusy and Electric Pickle will each take over the Cypress End stage.
Factory Town is a former mattress factory in Hialeah that its about page describes as seven acres of steel, concrete and open sky, with indoor warehouse rooms and outdoor stages. For 2026 the official site says the grounds become a "derelict ecosystem" of five interconnected stages styled as control rooms, ventilation chambers, reactor cores and machine architecture. The VIP ticket description names two of the stages, Infinity Room and The Park, which get elevated viewing decks and on-stage access for VIP. The official FAQ confirms local food vendors, free water refill stations, a Guest Services container near the north entrance for lost and found, and a VIP upgrade tent near Infinity Room. Costumes are encouraged, which is the main thing that separates this from a regular Factory Town weekend: three nights of house, techno and drum and bass that run until sunrise, on Halloween weekend, with the crowd in costume.
