By Karen Brem, Marketing Director, Historic Mardi Gras Inn
COMING SOON!!!
Hi boos, it’s me—Karen Brem, your ever-wicked Marketing Director for the Historic Mardi Gras Inn 🏳️🌈. If you know anything about New Orleans, you know that here in the City of the Dead Halloween isn’t just a holiday—it’s practically a lifestyle. 🎃 While other cities are still dragging their fall décor out of storage, our cobblestone streets are already crawling with ghosts 👻, skeletons ☠️, and the occasional queen in six-inch heels that could slay a vampire with one stomp. 💅🧛
And this year? We’re going bigger, bolder, and drunker. 🍹 For 2025, New Orleans is resurrecting not one but two nights of Halloween bar crawl insanity. That’s right—Friday, October 31st and Saturday, November 1st will both be rising from the grave 🪦 to deliver cocktails, costumes, and chaos.
Why You Need to Crawl (and Why You Need to Stay With Us) 🏳️🌈🎭
Let’s get one thing straight—or better yet, let’s get it queer: our inn is LGBTQ+ owned and operated, and we welcome everyone with open arms and a strong pour. 🥂 The Historic Mardi Gras Inn is just one block from the French Quarter and steps away from all the devilish fun. That means you can crawl, sip, dance, and stagger home safely without even breaking a heel. 👠✨
And unlike some other places, we don’t just tolerate your fabulousness—we celebrate it. 🌈 Our staff is as diverse as the costumes you’ll see this weekend, and we’re here to make sure your stay is clean, affordable, and wickedly welcoming. 💀💜
What’s Brewing on Crawl Nights 🍺🧟♀️
Expect mayhem, mischief, and more glitter than should legally be allowed. ✨
- 🎃 Costumes galore — from sexy devils 😈 to zombie brides 🧟♀️, and yes, that one guy who always shows up in nothing but body paint.
- 🍸 Creepy cocktail specials — sip a Witches’ Brew, down a Bloody Mary (pun intended 🩸), or nurse something glowing green that may or may not make you howl at the moon. 🌕🐺
- 🎶 DJ beats and live bands — because nothing pairs better with tequila than dancing like your ex isn’t watching. 💃
- 🕸️ 21+ fun only — this is grown-up Halloween, darling. No trick-or-treaters, just tricksters with cocktails.
