Espolòn Is Turning a Toronto Streetcar Into a Halloween Party With Felix Cartal and Rêve
Espolòn Ride to the Other Side Toronto is turning the 505 Dundas streetcar into a moving Halloween music venue on Saturday, October 31, 2026. The one-night event will feature live DJ sets, stops along Dundas West and performances from Canadian artists Felix Cartal and Rêve.
Even better, Toronto music fans can enter for a chance to be on board.
A Halloween Party Is Taking Over the 505 Dundas Streetcar
Halloween plans in Toronto usually mean choosing between a club, bar, haunted attraction or house party. Espolòn Tequila is adding a streetcar to that list.
Called Ride to the Other Side, the Halloween activation will transform a 505 Dundas streetcar into a roaming party venue.
The experience is expected to include:
- Live DJ performances on board
- A headline set from Felix Cartal and Rêve
- Halloween-themed cocktails
- Stops at locations along Dundas West
- A transformed streetcar built around the Halloween theme
Instead of spending the entire night inside one venue, guests will move through the city as part of the event.
For anyone familiar with Dundas West nightlife, the route also makes sense. The neighbourhood has plenty of bars, restaurants and late-night spots, while the 505 Dundas remains one of the area’s main TTC connections.
Felix Cartal and Rêve Will Perform on Board
The biggest draw is the music lineup.
Canadian electronic producer Felix Cartal and Montreal-born pop artist Rêve are set to perform during the experience.
The pair have already worked together musically. In 2025, they released “Dancing in a Dream,” their dance-pop collaboration from Cartal’s i, sabotage era.
That makes the streetcar performance a fitting choice for a Halloween event built around live dance music.
Rather than putting the artists on a traditional club stage, Ride to the Other Side places the performance directly inside the streetcar as it travels through Toronto.
How to Enter the Espolòn Ride to the Other Side Contest
Unlike a regular concert where you simply buy a ticket, entry to this experience is being offered through a contest.
Canadians of legal drinking age can enter between October 1 and October 21, 2026, for a chance to attend the Halloween event.
Here are the main details:
- Event: Espolòn Ride to the Other Side
- Date: Saturday, October 31, 2026
- Location: Toronto, aboard the 505 Dundas streetcar
- Performers: Felix Cartal and Rêve
- Contest period: October 1–21, 2026
- Eligibility: Canadians of legal drinking age, subject to the official contest rules

Before entering, read the official contest rules and eligibility requirements carefully. Winners should also review any instructions sent by the organizer regarding arrival times, identification and access to the streetcar.
Why This Is One of Toronto’s More Unusual Halloween Events
Toronto already has a packed Halloween calendar in 2026.
There are haunted houses, museum parties, costume cruises, late-night events and the massive Halloween celebration on Church Street. A live music party aboard a moving TTC streetcar, however, is a much less common way to spend October 31.
It also fits nicely into a Dundas West Halloween night. The area has become a reliable destination for bars, restaurants and live music, making the streetcar route part of the experience rather than simply transportation to it.
Since Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2026, expect downtown and west-end nightlife areas to be particularly busy.
Anyone attending should leave extra travel time, check TTC service before heading out and plan a safe ride home after the event.
Espolòn Ride to the Other Side Toronto: What to Know
If you want a shot at joining Felix Cartal and Rêve aboard the Halloween streetcar, don’t wait until October 31 to make plans.
Entries close on October 21, giving eligible Canadians a limited window to enter.
Ride to the Other Side adds another option to what is already shaping up to be a busy Halloween weekend in Toronto. For dance music fans who want something beyond the usual club night, partying through Dundas West aboard a transformed streetcar certainly stands out.
Remember to drink responsibly and plan your trip home before heading out.
