Halloween in New Orleans
I was introduced to
Halloween in New Orleans by friends in 1998 and fell in love with it. I have
managed to spend some time around Halloween in the French Quarter almost every
year since then. Aside from the usual attractions of the city - the music, the
food, and the French Quarter in particular - All Hallows' Eve has it's own
special appeal. From the annual parade from Molly's by the Market to the
creativity and wide variety of costumes on display on Bourbon Street, it may be
crowded but it is on a human scale.
In 2004 we got into town
late on Halloween so I missed the start of Molly’s Parade but caught the crowd on their
way back before I went out to Bourbon
Street to check the scene there. In addition there are galleries of folks
waiting, marching, and watching the 2003 edition of Molly's Halloween Parade and the scenery on Bourbon Street as well as galleries from 2000 and 2001.
Unfortunately, Katrina and
Rita precluded our annual trip to New Orleans in 2005 (but check out the New York Festivities. However, we made it back in 2006 to
enjoy the crowds in the French
Quarter as well as Molly’s Annual
Halloween Parade.
