Halloween in New Orleans

Combine the best of New Orleans’s rich culture and history with the annual Halloween celebrations! Halloween in New Orleans is a dazzling display of fun and finery - thousands flock to the Quarter for devilish fun, while costumed vampires, zombies, ghosts, and goblins parade along Frenchmen Street. Contrast this with exploring 200 years of history at Oak Alley Plantation on the Mississippi River and learning about local life and flora and fauna on a boat tour of the Barataria Swamps.
