Inside the event
Halloween in New Orleans 2026: planning your October 31 outing
Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2026, with costumes, haunted attractions and nightlife offering different ways to spend the evening.
A citywide holiday
This October 31 calendar entry covers Halloween across New Orleans. There is no single admission ticket, venue or start time for the entire city. Choose a particular celebration before making travel plans.
Costumes, history and haunted attractions
The city’s visitor guide highlights French Quarter ghost tours, costume shopping and haunted-house attractions. Decide whether your group wants a walking tour, a ticketed attraction or an evening out, then check the individual operator’s schedule.
Check each October event separately
Seasonal events happen throughout October. Krewe of BOO!, zoo celebrations and the separate Halloween New Orleans charity weekend have their own dates and admission arrangements. A parade photo on this page illustrates the season; it does not mean that parade runs on October 31.
Planning your visit
Pick a neighborhood and a meeting point, and check age limits before buying tickets. For a family outing, read the attraction’s description first. Keep your plans flexible enough to move between your chosen stops without rushing.
