NOCTURNE IS BACK FOR YEAR TWO. 🩸
Last year was only the beginning. This Halloween, Nocturne, the nightlife alter ego of Apéro Francophone, returns for a second edition, taking over the iconic Buffalo Club in Santa Monica on October 31.
Expect a darker, louder, and wilder night where French flair meets underground club energy. Think eerie elegance, haunting atmospheres, hypnotic beats, and a dance floor that won't let you leave.
For one night, we're turning the Buffalo Club into our own after-dark playground, bringing together expats, locals, and creatures of the night for a Halloween celebration unlike any other.
Come dressed to K*ll. Stay for the music. Dance until the darkness takes over.
Welcome back to NOCTURNE
A NOCTURNE × APÉRO FRANCOPHONE PRODUCTION
Back for its second year, Nocturne brings together French flair, an international crowd, great music, and a little Halloween madness. Dress to scare, bring your favorite people, or meet new ones on the dance floor. One night, one crowd, unforgettable energy.
Behind Nocturne is Apéro Francophone, an LA-based social club connecting French speakers, expats, locals, and anyone who loves a good time.
What started as casual happy hours has grown into a vibrant community celebrating culture, connection, and nightlife. From conversations over wine to dancing late into the night, Apéro is all about bringing people together and creating memories worth keeping.
