COMING THIS DECEMBER!!!

By Karen Brem, Marketing Director, Historic Mardi Gras Inn
New Orleans doesnβt save dress-up for Halloween β December is prime costume season. πβ¨
People show up to ghost tours wearing:
- Gothic holiday gowns
- Victorian mourning dresses
- Krampus horns
- Sinister Santa suits
- Creepy, sparkly creations that defy explanation
And after the tour?
Thatβs when the adult fun kicks in.π₯
The French Quarter comes alive with:
- Busy cocktail bars
- Holiday shots that should require waivers
- Live jazz floating down the streets
- Balcony parties
- Strangers complimenting your costume like itβs a personality trait
This is the kind of grown-up Christmas you canβt get anywhere else.
ππ« Queer Holiday Haunts: Festive, Fabulous & Slightly Ferocious
New Orleansβ LGBTQ+ nightlife brings its own seasonal magic:
- Glow parties
- Holiday drag shows
- Christmas-themed karaoke
- Naughty-but-nice disco nights
- Queer caroling (yes, itβs real, and yes, itβs joyful)
Itβs inclusive, bright, bold, and very New Orleans. π³οΈβππβ¨
π·π―οΈ End Your Night With a Haunted Stroll
After the cocktails and chaos, take a slow walk through the French Quarter.
The balconies sparkle.
The music floats.
The shadows dance.
And if you feel a little chill?
Wellβ¦ youβre in the right place for that. π
