Spooktacular New Orleans

What better way to spend Halloween than in The Most Haunted City in America on a New Orleans Ghost Tour, taking in some of the most haunted sites and bone-chilling tales. Or, why not follow Bloody Mary on one of her adventures into the supernatural and paranormal, from ghost hunts to séances and haunted museum experiences.

Join a tour which takes participants through the house of Gothic Horror Queen Anne Rice, or deep dive into the life and times of Marie Laveau, the Queen of Voodoo.

Halloween costume parades are another attraction, with the most petrifying displays hosted by the Krewe of BOO. Taking place on 25th October this year, witness for yourself as the French Quarter morphs into Fright Quarter.
