Celebrate who you are by visiting a place that lets you be just that
For 300 years New Orleans has been a mecca for everything decadent and alive. A place where music, art, history, food, and people of different ethnicities, nationalities, and sexual orientation mix and mingle like the colors of a Michalopoulos painting. And yet, with all these rich cultural draws, there's still another reason why New Orleans is the #1 Southern destination in the United States: our incredible nightlife. After all, here, every night is a party regardless of whether it's Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Halloween or a regular Tuesday.
When it comes to festivals, no one does it quite like the our LGBTQ community. From Southern Decadence to Gay Easter and Halloween, everyone’s welcome…
