All Hallow’s Eve in New Orleans isn’t like Halloween in just any other place. It is by far one of our favorite holidays, which means that you can experience some of the most creative and intricate costumes floating through the Crescent City streets — not just on October 31, but all week long. But what is a fabulous costume without lots of fabulous parties at which to show it off? There are scads of ghoulish things to do around town Halloween week, but here are just a few to pique your interest. Don’t forget to cruise Frenchmen Street tonight (Thursday) for the best costume sightings and of course, you can cap off the weekend with the OffBeat team in our booth at New Orleans City Park during Voodoo Fest, where we’re offering chances to win cool giveaways, like concert tickets, hookahs, art, photographs and more. See ya on the dark side!
