The night picks start on the 14th, when A Beautiful Noise opens at the Lyric, a lift ride from the hotel.

Fridays have Latin Nights at Palm Grove; the last weekend of the month has FORMA.

For your booking

Two things on The Star's side have November dates worth knowing. The spring packages listed on 1 November 2026 run with blackout dates, and the Seniors Card offer at The Star Grand can be booked and used until 24 December 2026. Our packages page has the details.

Big nights fill the hotel. If your stay is built around the 14th or a Saturday festival, send the request early and mention the event in the notes.
