New Orleans’ Krewe of BOO! is back and better than ever this year, promising family travelers a weekend full of spine-tingling fun. As New Orleans’ Officially Halloween Parade in 2007, Krewe of BOO! continues to prove a popular event for all.

 

Here’s what’s in store this year:

 

Zombie Run

Begin the day with a fun twist at the New Orleans Zombie Run! Costumed runners face off against the Zombie Killers (aka the Big Easy Rollergirls) in a chase that’s sure to be both hilarious and exhilarating.

Spectacular Floats

Each float, crafted by world-renowned Kern Studios, features a blend of horror and creativity. From ghastly ghouls to monsters, floats come to life through intricate fiberglass and paper-mâché sculptures.

 

Epic Afterparty

The festival continues through the Warehouse District, where the biggest Halloween parade locks off. Put on your most creative costume and join the Krewe members for the legendary Monster Mash.

Make Meaningful Memories While Helping Conserve the Planet

We know the many benefits of travel. When we journey away from our homes to destinations near and far, we gain opportunities to experience new (to us) communities through cultures, customs, landscapes and, of course, cuisines. And when we travel with others, those experiences are not only shared but they also improve our relationships.
