October Means Spooky Fun!!!

Darlings, it’s time to brace yourselves for a night of devilish debauchery! This October 31, 2024, Halloween in New Orleans gets turned up a notch with the Official Halloween Bar Crawl, and honey, you do not want to miss this ghoulishly good time. You think Halloween’s for the kiddos? Think again! This event is strictly for the grown folks, 21 and up, where the booze flows like magic potions, and the costumes get as spicy as our beloved Creole cuisine. So grab your tickets now, because once the clock strikes 5:00 PM at the legendary Coyote Ugly Saloon, 225 North Peters Street, it’s game on.
Halloween in New Orleans is an experience like no other—an all-out, all-night extravaganza where costumes go beyond the norm, and the city itself feels like it’s in on the fun. From the French Quarter to the Marigny, spirits (both the kind you drink and the kind you summon) will be high. And this year, we’re raising the stakes. Your ticket to the Official Halloween Bar Crawl isn’t just a passport to participating bars—it’s your golden ticket to exclusive food and drink specials that’ll make your wallet scream with joy. Imagine: slipping into bar after bar, where the cocktails are as dangerously delicious as your costume, and the food is served with a side of spine-tingling excitement. Each sip and bite feels like you’re part of something forbidden—because, darling, that’s what Halloween is all about, isn’t it?
And let’s not forget—this is New Orleans, baby! You’ve got one job for this bar crawl: turn. out. Deck yourself out in your best ghastly garb, because there’s a $2000 prize on the line for the costume contest! Whether you’re going for spooky, sexy, or full-on freaky, let your wildest Halloween dreams (or nightmares) come to life. This city is a stage, and Halloween is the main event. Think you’ve got what it takes to snatch that crown? You better bring it, because competition’s going to be fierce, and in New Orleans, we don’t do anything halfway.
The bar crawl runs from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to sip, snack, and slay your way through the most haunted, legendary bars the French Quarter has to offer. There’ll be spirits high in more ways than one as you dance through these cobblestone streets, brushing shoulders with vampires, witches, and creatures that defy explanation. Every bar is a new adventure, a new chance to immerse yourself in the spooky, seductive side of NOLA’s nightlife.
Here at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, we’re just one short block from the French Quarter, making us the perfect place to rest your head (or whatever else) after a night of haunting the city’s hottest spots. We’re proud to be LGBTQ+ owned and operated, and we throw our doors open wide to welcome all of you fabulous creatures. Whether you’re coming in for a quick getaway or extending your stay for the whole Halloween weekend, you’ll find clean, affordable accommodations and a staff that treats you like family (the fun kind, not the kind you run away from). No promises, no fuss—just the warm, welcoming service that makes your stay in NOLA as fabulous as you are.

So, why not make it a long weekend? Come for the crawl, but stay for everything else New Orleans has to offer: the incredible food, the cocktails that’ll make your toes curl, and the music that’ll have your hips swaying whether you’re dead or alive. There’s something about this city that just makes everything better—the food tastes richer, the drinks hit harder, and the parties… well, they’re legendary for a reason. From brunch with bottomless mimosas to late-night jazz sessions on Frenchmen Street, you’re in for a treat that’ll last way beyond the witching hour.
Oh, and let’s be real—New Orleans has ghost tours every day of the year, but on Halloween? They hit differently. This time of year, the tales of haunted mansions and restless spirits seem a little too real, and after a few drinks on the bar crawl, you might just start to believe them.
So gather your ghastly gang, grab those tickets, and start planning your costume, because the Official Halloween Bar Crawl is about to serve up a night of spooktacular surprises. And remember, here at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, we’ve got your back. We’ll be here, ready with a soft bed, a hot shower, and a knowing smile when you stumble in after a night of raising hell in the French Quarter. Let’s make this a Halloween to remember, sugar—because in New Orleans, we never do anything less. See you on the crawl!
