History and tradition

Krewe of BOO! was founded in 2007 and first rolled in 2008 as a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina relief. After several years without a parade, the event was revived in 2013 and developed into New Orleans’ official Halloween parade, combining Carnival-scale floats with family-friendly monsters, costumes, marching groups, and locally produced throws.
