Krewe of Boo
Krewe of Boo, New Orleans' official Halloween parade, is scary fun! Spooktacularly enough, it is the only major parade with full size floats to travel through the French Quarter.
The Krewe of Boo started in 2007 has become a top-notch event you don’t want to miss. There are world-class floats designed and built by Kern Studios, the best marching bands from the city, and a number of special marching units.
Start practicing saying “Throw me somethin’, monster!” Instead of the generic beads that often end up on the ground after the parade passes, Krewe of Boo throws primarily locally made throws that are food items and collectables.
If you’re interested in riding on a float, you can find membership information here. The Krewe promises that it’ll be a once in a lifetime night that you’ll never forget.
Be sure to check out the Zombie Run the morning of the parade!
