Trip Overview
New York is one of those places everyone dreams of experiencing at least once, and there's no better weekend to do it than Halloween. It's a bucket-list weekend, but between the price tag and figuring out where to actually be, it's not always the easiest place to take on by yourself.
That's exactly why we chose Brooklyn to be our first-ever trip outside of Europe. We'll explore the city, rave all weekend, and connect with others on this girls trip of a lifetime. Be a part of history as we bring the Girls Who Rave experience to new continents. Brooklyn Halloweekend awaits us!
Arrive and settle into our home for the weekend, a cute house in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Once everyone's checked in and unpacked, we'll explore our area before kicking things off with a welcome pizza party, tasting that local wood-fired pizza New York is so known for! We'll play some icebreakers, getting to know the girls we'll be spending the weekend with. As the night winds on, we'll bar hop through our area, ducking into cozy cocktail dens and neighborhood spots to ease into the long weekend ahead.
We'll head into Lower Manhattan for the first-timer essentials: exploring SoHo, wandering through Greenwich Village, and hanging out around Washington Square Park. We'll make our way back to Brooklyn early to rest up, recharge, and get costume-ready, because tonight is Rave Night One. We're hitting a warehouse or club event out in East Brooklyn or Queens, starting out with drinks at home or a lively bar before heading into a bigger venue to kick off Halloween Eve properly.
Sleep in and start the day slow with fresh New York bagels and coffee back in Brooklyn. From there, we'll head into Midtown to see Times Square, then walk up to Central Park for a fall foliage picnic. You'll have some free time to chill at the park or sqeeze in some more sightseeing before heading home to rest and get ready for the evening! Suit up in your full costume for the main Halloween event at a venue or warehouse, dancing well into Sunday morning.
Roll out of bed and walk a couple of blocks to cheer on the 50,000+ runners of the NYC Marathon - 50th anniversary! Bed-Stuy transforms into a massive, high-energy block party for the morning, complete with crowds and sound systems lining the street. From there, the rest of the day is yours to choose. Keep the energy going at a Sunday daytime open-air dance event. Or take it slower with a relaxed stroll down to Dumbo and across the Brooklyn Bridge for skyline photos, winding down at a cozy bar in the evening, early enough to still catch some sleep. Don't forget we're in the city that never sleeps, so plenty will be happening if you're feeling social tonight!
Pack up, grab one last Brooklyn bagel, and check out from our house turned home for the weekend. It's the perfect chance to reflect on the weekend, swap stories, and make plans for future trips together. If your flight is later in the evening, some of us will be hanging around sqeezing in some final sightseeing and shopping!

Do it!!!! Sometimes we can feel lonely in our routine lives, and a trip like this one, surrounded by kind, pleasant women who take an interest in you and want to live life to the fullest, is exactly what’s needed.
Joy
I have already been telling my friends about this because it truly feels like a community of like-minded people who are ready for an adventure and you will never feel alone. It was truly a life-changing experience.
DeWanna
Everyone showed up to hang out, be a girls girl, and ready to have the best time. That was top notch. Felt so loving and welcome. I appreciated the options and planned events. I'm an indecisive person, so this was good for being in flow.
2026 Attendee
This past trip has a place in my heart forever. Seeing new places, dancing to amazing music, meeting so many new friends who are all on the same vibe and having fun together. This was exactly what I had been missing. I will for sure join again.
Isla
I was a little nervous about signing up to this trip but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I had the most incredible time with the loveliest group of girls and hope to see them all again soon at our next rave!
Maria
Do it!!!! I hadn't done anything like this before (going on a trip with strangers) but it was absolutely perfect and an amazing experience!
Jena
This was my first time joining a travel group and I had a great experience. The pre planning relieved me of stress and everyone made me feel very welcomed!
Michelle
I would honestly recommend these trips to anyone. Everything feels very organized while still giving you enough freedom to create your own experience and enjoy the trip in your own way.
Your trip includes 4 nights in a cute house in Brooklyn (shared rooms with fellow trip attendees only, with limited private room upgrades available), a welcome pizza party on your first night, entry to a Halloween rave event, an experienced Girls Who Rave trip leader, exclusive Girls Who Rave merchandise, local connections and special access where available, and pre-arrival support including a welcome guide, packing list, and pre-departure group chat.
Flights, local transportation, meals and drinks (outside of the welcome pizza party), additional club or event entry, and personal expenses are not included.
Absolutely. Most of our travelers come solo and leave with lifelong friends. This is a girls-only trip with an intimate group of like-minded women from around the world who love to rave, explore, and have a good time. Our team will make sure everyone feels welcome from day one.
Yes, you must be 21+ to join this trip. The majority of our trip participants are in their 20s-40s.
Even if you've done the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, you haven't done NYC like this. This trip isn't all about sightseeing, it's Halloween weekend colliding with the NYC Marathon, a house full of girls from around the world, and exploring the rave scene. Plus, it's our first-ever Girls Who Rave trip outside of Europe, so even NYC regulars get to be part of that history.
We've got a room option just for that. Choose Book with a Friend at checkout and you and your friend share a big bed together in one of our private rooms, just the two of you, at a discounted per-person rate. It's only available when booking together as a pair.
Yes! Choose the Private Room option at checkout if you'd rather have your own space and your own room for the weekend. Spots are very limited for this, so book early if you prefer a private room.
We'll be staying together in a 4-story Brooklyn house, one of the neighborhoods best positioned for the Halloween weekend nightlife. Think exposed brick, individual AC and heat in every room, fast WiFi, and an on-site washer for post-night out laundry. It's a quiet residential block just 25 minutes from Manhattan by subway, with cafes, bars, and shops all within a block. You can choose from a few room options at checkout: Shared Occupancy Room (a bunk in our 8-person room), Twin Room (a quieter room for 2), Book with a Friend (share a real bed with your travel buddy), or Private Room (your own space entirely). Exact address details will be shared with confirmed travelers.
We're all about good energy, supporting each other, and making memories. Whether you want to dance all night or take it easy some nights, there's space for everyone. Most of our attendees are in their 20s and 30s, but you're welcome at any age as long as you fit the vibe. While the trip is conducted in English, we have attendees from around the world... 30 countries and counting!
Our trips are always at your own pace. You don't have to drink or party hard to have an amazing time. Between the Central Park picnic, sightseeing in Manhattan, and cheering on the marathon, there's plenty built into the weekend beyond nightlife. It's likely you'll find fellow trip attendees on your same wavelength who want to explore, relax, and enjoy the city without going all out every night.
That's totally okay. You don't need to be a seasoned raver to join this trip. Our trips are open to everyone, whether it's your first rave or your fiftieth. All we ask is that you come with an open mindset, a positive attitude, and respect for the culture and the group.
We'll have a form after booking where you can let us know about any dietary requirements, and we'll do our best to accommodate, from the welcome pizza party onward. New York is very vegetarian-, vegan-, and allergy-friendly.
As this is our very first trip in the US, we're currently curating the best Halloween warehouse and club events Brooklyn and Queens have to offer. Exact venues will be announced closer to the date, as Halloween weekend event schedules in NYC are typically finalized only a few weeks out. Our team will always share a multitude of options happening during the trip so you have some amazing choices.
Bring your Halloween costumes (or makeup and accessories to build one), comfortable shoes for walking and dancing, layered outfits for chilly fall nights, and casual daytime clothes for sightseeing and the marathon block party. Towels are provided at the house, so no need to pack those. We'll send a detailed packing list in the group chat before the trip.
The itinerary is a guide, not a rulebook! It's subject to change based on weather, group preferences, and how everyone's feeling. You're always welcome to do your own thing - whether that's skipping an activity to sleep in, exploring solo, or joining a smaller group for something different. We're here to facilitate an amazing trip, not micromanage your vacation.
There is a $200 non-refundable deposit. Between 60-45 days before the trip, you can cancel and receive 50% of your remaining balance back. No cancellations are accepted within 45 days of the trip. All refunds are subject to a small service fee to cover card processing costs.
Please note that this trip requires accommodation, Halloween event entry, and other inclusions to be paid for well in advance, which is why we have the non-refundable deposit. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment.
Our website prices are listed in US Dollars, but you're welcome to pay via bank transfer to save on card fees. You can view payment instructions at check out below, or reach out to us directly for details.
Once you book, we'll reach out to you via WhatsApp to send out pre-arrival information - we're also here if you need help booking your flights! Two weeks prior to the trip date, you'll be added to our group chat where we'll share updates, answer questions, and start getting to know each other before the trip. The Girls Who Rave team is available for support throughout the planning process.
Plan to arrive in New York City (closest airports: JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark) on Thursday, October 29th. Our check in will be at 3:00 PM, but don't stress if your flight lands later in the day, as we'll be settling into the house and staying local for the welcome pizza party, so it's easy to catch up with us.
Departures are on Monday, November 2nd with check out at 11:00 AM. We'll share more detailed info on exactly how to get to the house from the airport in the group chat closer to the date.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Girls Who Rave
Why should you travel with us?
This is our first-ever trip outside of Europe, and we're doing it in a city that needs no introduction. Brooklyn during Halloween weekend, with the NYC Marathon happening right outside our door, is a once-a-year kind of chaos, and navigating it solo is a lot to figure out. That's exactly why we created this community: for girls who want to experience the city's underground scene, wild nights out, and unmissable local moments together, without doing it alone.
Behind the Trip
Why did we choose Brooklyn?
We've spent years building Girls Who Rave across Europe, and Brooklyn felt like the right place to try something new. When it comes to Halloween parties, you can't beat this scene. Instead of a hotel, we wanted something that felt more like moving in with your future best friends for a few days, so we found a cute house in Brooklyn for just our group. Whether you've been to the city before or it's been on your bucket list since childhood, you're welcome here.
