A Night of Ritual & Revelry featuring The Little Shop of Horrors Hosted by Meatball

Kick off your Halloween week with our new after-hours party spotlighting plants and their role in ritual and revelry. The night’s bill is topped with Meatball hosting an outdoor screening of the 1986 cult classic The Little Shop of Horrors and a costume contest with prizes. Category is: Plant Power.

The evening continues with open galleries, a slate of plant-themed activities, and a menu of wine, beer, and nighttime bites for a uniquely LACMA way to celebrate the spooky season.

Please note: Guests must be 18 or older to attend.

A Night of Ritual & Revelry coincides with the planting of over 45,000 drought-resistant plants on LACMA’s newest monumental sculpture, Split-Rocker by Jeff Koons—soon to be on view in 2026.
