SKVLK Fest Thanks Families and Community After Joyful 18th Birthday Celebration; Sheriff Confirms No Stabbing

More than 400 security professionals, shuttle buses for guests and thousands of young people celebrating: organizers thank the community that made Jamie Foxx’s daughter’s festival a night to remember.

HIDDEN VALLEY, Calif. (November 11, 2026) — SKVLK Fest today thanked the families, young people, neighbors, security teams and first responders who made its November 7 celebration of Anelise’s 18th birthday a night to remember.

Hosted at Jamie Foxx’s Hidden Valley home, the Halloween music festival that Anelise created brought thousands of young people together for carnival rides, live performances on a lit main stage and costumes everywhere. Organizers say more than 400 security professionals worked the event, shuttle buses carried guests to and from the festival, and EMTs were on site throughout the night.

Since the festival, parents and community members have reached out with an outpouring of gratitude, organizers say.

“Anelise wanted a night where her generation could celebrate together, and this community showed up with so much love,” said PR STARPOWER, which leads sponsorships and partnerships for SKVLK Fest. “Jamie and his team put the safety of every guest first, with hundreds of security professionals, buses for families and medical staff on site. We are grateful to every parent who trusted us with their children, and to every officer, EMT and volunteer who worked that night.”

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that no one was stabbed at the festival. After interviewing the young man involved, detectives determined he “was not assaulted with a knife” and that his superficial injury appears to be from “mutual combat / simple battery,” according to the Sheriff’s release (RB# 26-146404). The Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate separate altercations that occurred that night, and the festival’s team is cooperating fully.

For Academy Award, Grammy and Golden Globe winner Jamie Foxx, the night was about family: a father opening his home so his daughter could share her milestone with her friends and her community.
