Some people come up with great costume ideas for Halloween. Juan “Don Juan” Muñoz is setting his sights higher.
He wants to dress up his “Latinoween” party in Indianapolis like one of the most popular music concerts in recent history by recreating Bad Bunny’s “la casita.”
Knowing people have work and school the next day, Muñoz wanted to do something that would catch people’s attention and have them come out to his Halloween party on Thursday, Oct. 29, at Old National Centre.
“I had to do something really big, creative and out of the box,” he said. “I wasn’t able to go to his concert.”
And party guests who also have FOMO can act as part of the tour, too.
The la casita set piece was used during the Bad Bunny’s “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” 30-concert residency that took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 2025. It was also part of his Super Bowl LX halftime performance in February.
Bad Bunny’s casita, which translates to “little house” in Spanish, is a full-scale, bright pink one-story home that was modeled after a real home on the island. It first appeared in the short film “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTos,” which was released last year as a visual companion to Bad Bunny’s album with the same name. His casita is about 42 feet by 42 feet, with an 11-foot ceiling.
Muñoz’s version is about half that size, measuring 24 feet by 12 feet, with a 10-foot ceiling.
His replica is foundationally sound — made of mainly wood, except for the styrofoam-board ceiling, so you’ll be able to dance on it.
Muñoz started reaching out to contractors three weeks ago and was quoted between $4,000 and $25,000, which he said is “a downpayment for a house.”
So, he decided to make it himself.
Muñoz, who’s been a DJ since 2018, said he’s never built anything like this before. “I’ve rented an apartment my whole life. I have no idea of quotes and construction costs.”
In materials alone, he’s spent $2,500-$3,000. He was able to find two guys who built the structure in two days.

“It’s still a hefty investment, but I think it will be worth it in the end,” he said.
The 32-year-old spent a week painting the casita out of a friend’s three-car garage on the outskirts of Bloomington.
He has made frequent trips to Sherwin-Williams to grab paint. He’s a stickler for accuracy, wanting to get the colors as close to Bad Bunny’s casita as possible. Even asking people to weigh in between two shades of pink.

Last Wednesday, he stayed there until 2 a.m., painting.
“I was looking at other casitas … none of them looked close to Bad Bunny’s casita,” he said. “I think this will be proof that you can recreate it and hopefully other people do it.”
He hopes this inspires other DJs to build custom booths.
And how will he transport la casita to Old National Centre? Muñoz said he is going to break it down into three pieces and fit it into the largest U-Haul truck he can find to get it to Indianapolis.
Once they get to the Egyptian Room, he and his crew will put on some finishing touches.
Toward the latter part of the party, you’ll be able to catch Muñoz dressed as Tony Montana from “Scarface,” spinning reggaeton music inside his creation.
And he hopes Bad Bunny sees it.
