The Krewe of BOO! parade has become New Orleans’ official Halloween event since it started in 2007. It combines the grand scale of Mardi Gras with the macabre theatrics of Halloween. For this year, it starts at the Elysian Fields Avenue, and ends at the Tchoupitoulas Street to Andrew Higgins Drive. There is no other best family-friendly Halloween event. Everyone can assist in a costume and be prepared to have tons of fun. The parade features marching bands, dance troupes, walking krewes and elaborately designed floats created by the renowned Kern Studios. And for the adults, after the parade you can continue the celebration to the “Monster Mash”, the biggest Halloween parade afterparty in the Warehouse District.
