Urban Society Long Beach embodies community, culture, and celebration. Known for its R&B-themed brunches and local events, the group will kick off Fright Fest from 2 to 4:30 PM, bringing signature good vibes and energy to get the party started on Pine Avenue.

And then from 4:30 to 10 PM, the night heats up with a lineup curated by Halloween aficionados @babybrospizzalbc — featuring live music and DJ sets from DJ La Rok, Pimp Bizkit, DJ Irony, DJ Jackie Beats and more that bring energy, creativity, and a little seasonal mischief. Expect killer beats, surprise moments, and an atmosphere that keeps the party going long after the sun goes down.

From 2 to 4 PM, NiceGuyxVinny — a Long Beach favorite with deep ties to the L.A. music scene and roots in New Jersey — brings a refined taste and broad musical awareness to the Promenade. His sets blend R&B, funk, and soulful grooves with a local touch that captures the city’s rhythm.

Then from 4 to 10 PM, DJ BSelecta (aka Brandi Stevens) takes over with her signature high-energy, open-format sound — mixing Hip Hop, R&B, Dancehall, and Funk into seamless sets that keep the vibe electric and the crowd on its feet.
