Flash Mob New Orleans is returning home to City Hall for the 14th Annual “Thriller” Halloween Spectacular on Friday, October 31, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. This beloved community event brings dancers, families, schools, and local groups together for a high-energy performance of Michael Jackson’s classic choreography on the steps of City Hall, located at 1300 Perdido Street.
This year’s performance is dedicated to longtime dancer Adrian Lindsey, who is recovering from a stroke. His courage and positivity have inspired the entire Flash Mob New Orleans community, and the event will be performed in his honor.
Founded by international recording artist, dancer, and educator Kenneth “Kynt” Bryan, Flash Mob New Orleans promotes unity, fitness, and cultural pride through dance. Over the past fourteen years, the group has partnered with FitNOLA, NORDC, and local schools to provide free dance classes and outreach programs across the city.
The 2025 lineup includes performances by CASMÈ’, Kirkland Green, Chloe Marie, Naydja CoJoe, FitNOLA/NORDC participants, Ann Burr Dance Studio, Giacobbe Academy of Dance, NOLA Outrage, NOLA Heat, and community dancers from across New Orleans. Students from The Willow School, Spotlight Dance NOLA, Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary Charter School, Homer Plessy Community Schools, Pierre A. Capdau S.T.E.A.M. School, and the Academy of the Sacred Heart will also take part.
