Mexican Embassy-presented Day of the Dead masquerade ball with masks, culture and party at Hyatt Regency Beijing.
The organisers describe the evening as the Masquerade Ball: Night of Alebrijes, a Día de Muertos celebration presented by the Embassy of Mexico in China, promising an evening of culture, artful celebration and mystery in Beijing. Guests are asked to wear a mask. Beyond that, the listing gives no programme detail — no performers, no menu, no schedule within the five-hour window, and no indication of whether the alebrijes theme extends to displays or decoration. The Beijinger files it under Nightlife and marks it an Editor's Pick.
Pricing is published: 1380 for a single seat, 13000 for a table of ten. The currency is not specified in the listing, and no service charge, tax or inclusions are mentioned, so it is not stated whether food or drink is covered.
The booking mechanism is the weak point for anyone arriving from abroad. Under More Info, the listing says only: scan the QR code on the poster for details. No email address, telephone number, ticketing website or embassy contact is provided, and the poster itself is not reproduced in the listing text. Whether that QR code resolves to a WeChat mini-programme, a mainland payment flow, or something reachable from a foreign device is not stated. If you cannot scan it, the listing offers no alternative route in.
The organisers have not addressed several things this audience will want confirmed before committing. There is no statement on whether WeChat is required to register or pay, whether a Chinese mobile number is needed, or whether real-name registration applies. Nothing indicates whether foreign passport holders can buy a seat directly or need an embassy introduction. No booking deadline or cut-off has been announced, and there is no note on whether unsold seats are available at the door. Dress code beyond the mask, age policy and refund terms are likewise unpublished.
Given that a single contact channel is offered and it is a scannable code, treat the QR route as the only confirmed path and allow time to resolve it before the date.
This entry was compiled automatically from the organiser's own page and every date in it was checked back against that page before publishing. Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.
Status: Body states only 'Nov 7' with no year; 2026 inferred from the source URL path and site copyright, not from the text itself. No Chinese name appears in the body. Times given as '18:00 pm - 23:00 pm' (as printed). Tickets: 1380 single seat / 13000 table for 10; booking channel not described beyond 'Scan QR code on poster for details', so access is an inference from that.
