TONIGHT AND COMING SOON!
Hey there, fabulous friends and soon-to-be guests of the Historic Mardi Gras Inn! Karen Brem here, your go-to guide for all things fun and festive in the heart of New Orleans. With Southern Decadence 2024 just around the corner, we’re gearing up for a wild ride that you won’t want to miss. As your friendly neighborhood Marketing Director, I’m here to give you the lowdown on two sizzling events leading up to the big bash. And remember, at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, we offer clean, affordable accommodations with a warm, welcoming staff, and our GREAT LOCATION puts you right in the thick of all the action. So, let’s dive in!
Event #1: Buy a Boy at Oz New Orleans
Hold onto your hats, folks, because tonight is going to be a night to remember! Oz New Orleans, the iconic hotspot on Bourbon Street, is hosting the ever-popular “Buy a Boy” event. This Southern Decadence 52 (SD52) fundraiser is all about fun, flirtation, and philanthropy, with every penny raised going towards making Southern Decadence 2024 the best one yet.
Imagine this: Eleven of the most handsome local men up for bid, each one ready to sweep you off your feet for a dreamy dinner for two. These aren’t just any dinners, folks. We’re talking gourmet experiences provided by some of the finest French Quarter restaurants. Whether you’re looking for love, a fun night out, or just a chance to contribute to a fabulous cause, this is the event for you.
The excitement kicks off at 8 PM tonight at Oz New Orleans, located at 800 Bourbon Street. Get there early to scope out the competition and make sure you’ve got your bidding arm ready. The atmosphere will be electric, the drinks will be flowing, and the boys will be looking fine. It’s all in the name of a great cause, and trust me, you won’t want to miss a minute of it.
Event #2: The Grand Marshals’ Drag Extravaganza
Now, if you thought “Buy a Boy” was the peak of pre-Decadence excitement, think again. Coming up next week, we’ve got the Grand Marshals’ Drag Extravaganza, a glittering spectacle that’s guaranteed to blow your mind and bedazzle your senses.
Picture this: The most fabulous drag queens in all of New Orleans, strutting their stuff and serving looks that could slay a dragon. These queens aren’t just performers; they’re icons, legends, and the heart and soul of Southern Decadence. The Grand Marshals themselves will be leading the charge, bringing their unique blend of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent to the stage.
This extravaganza is set to take place at the historic Mahogany Hall, just a hop, skip, and a sashay away from our hotel. Doors open at 7 PM, and the show starts at 8 PM sharp. Expect jaw-dropping performances, high-energy dance numbers, and more sequins than you can shake a stick at. Whether you’re a drag aficionado or a curious newcomer, this is one night that promises unforgettable entertainment.
