Jamie Foxx's annual Halloween party, known as SKVLK Fest, has grown into a massive music festival co-hosted with his daughter
Jamie Foxx's Halloween celebration, known as SKVLK Fest, has become an annual tradition at his sprawling estate in Thousand Oaks, California.
The actor and his daughter, Anelise Foxx, co-host the festival, which she reportedly came up with when she was just 13.
As a child, she dreamed of organizing what she described as “the biggest party in the world” for young people and community members.
What began as a family-inspired celebration has since grown into a large-scale event featuring live music, outdoor stages, smoke machines, and carnival-style rides.
The event has also grown considerably, with this year's gathering reportedly drawing thousands of attendees.
The 2026 edition of SKVLK Fest took place on Saturday, after the original Halloween-night celebration was reportedly postponed by a week because of heavy rain in California.
The lineup featured several prominent performers, including Offset, OhGeesy, Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red, Leon Thomas, 310babii, and Kyle.
Internet personalities such as DDG, DeenTheGreat, and Jay Cinco were also spotted at the event, with J Young MDK hosting the evening.
However, the festivities took a disturbing turn when an altercation reportedly broke out among attendees.
This year's event descended into a violent altercation between two male guests, bringing the festivities to an abrupt end
According to TMZ, a male guest was stabbed in the neck during the brawl, prompting deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office and emergency responders to rush to the property.
Reportedly, the man's injury was “superficial,” and paramedics treated him at the scene.
A male suspect was arrested on suspicion of a**ault with a d**dly weapon.
Although several people were reportedly detained during the police response, authorities have not publicly confirmed whether anyone else will face charges.
The incident also raised questions about how a weapon made its way into the venue, particularly given the festival's clearly displayed rule prohibiting “No Real or Fake Weapons.”
A viral clip TMZ obtained showed the chaotic aftermath, with hundreds of costumed guests being directed off the property as police and security personnel worked to clear the area.
Several individuals were seen in handcuffs and zip ties on the grass.
Netizens mocked Foxx, with one writing, “Kinda old to be having parties. Don't let strangers in your home. It's not worth the risk”
Security guards were seen yelling at the crowd, "Get off the road!" to make way for arriving emergency vehicles, and one detained individual was heard shouting to officers, “I want to press charges!”
News of the violent incident prompted a wave of sarcastic and serious reactions online, with some questioning the atmosphere at the actor's annual celebration.
“A Jamie Foxx Halloween bash without at least 3 stabbings is considered a dull affair,” one person joked.
Another wrote, “My first question is, who throws a Halloween party after Halloween? Does it make sense??”
Others criticized Foxx, saying, “Almost 60 yet refuses to grow up and will probably do the same thing next year. No lessons learned and speaks to the types of people he associates with…”
“A father with 3 kids throwing a party like he’s 21 at his parents' house that gets plastered on Facebook. Embarrassing,” another wrote.
Others expressed, “Someone took the fancy dress too far imo.”
Another comment read, “Did they really think there wouldn’t be a problem??!!”
Similar chaos unfolded at last year's festival, when a guest threw a bottle at rapper GloRilla as she performed
“Having this many people at my house is my worst nightmare. No thank you, you’ll never find me in a situation like this.”
As of this writing, Jamie has not publicly addressed the reported stabbing or the police shutdown.
Instead, his social media activity following the event focused on celebrating the festival and his daughter's work.
Sharing footage of rapper OhGeesy's performance on Instagram, the actor wrote, “@skvlkfest is on Fuego. @anelisefoxx has done it again!!!! And just getting started @ohgeesy!"
The festival's official social media accounts also shared a positive recap, thanking attendees and announcing, “Thank you all for coming to SKVLKFEST 2026! CANT WAIT for 2027 to see y'all again!”
This isn't the first time the annual celebration has drawn attention for unruly behavior.
During last year’s event, rapper GloRilla was performing when an audience member reportedly threw a glass bottle toward the stage, forcing her to pause her set.
Jamie was visibly furious and took the microphone to reprimand the crowd for disrespecting the performers, who were performing for free.
“Why would you do some sh*t like that? Why? Go**amn! Why would you throw something at the stage, man? This is for free. She came here... Y'all don't deserve this sh*t. That's f**ked up, bro,” he shouted.
That incident highlighted that crowd behavior had already become a concern at the festival, even before this year's more serious incident.
“Who in their right minds allows a party at a 10.5million house? This crowd put their hands on all of his items,” one netizen wrote
