2024

This year, October 19th was the kick-off day, with the Boo Carre Halloween Haunt at the French Market and the Krewe of Boo parade. On Halloween Day, the 26th annual VOODOOFEST celebrated the cultural richness that the Voodoo religion has added to our city’s culture, then culminating on November 2 with Krewe de Mayahuel’s Dia de Los Muertos Cemetery Procession from the Bywater to the St. Roch Cemetery to honor lost loved ones.
