Coming This Weekend!!!
Buckle up, ghouls and goblins—because New Orleans is about to treat you to a Halloween weekend like no other! On October 25 and 26, 2024, from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, the City Park Conservancy is hosting the most frightfully fabulous event of the season: Brews and Boos at Carousel Gardens Amusement Park. This ADULTS-ONLY Halloween fundraiser promises unlimited rides, a hair-raising amount of beer, and all the spooky fun your fiendish heart could desire. And, of course, in true NOLA fashion, costumes are absolutely encouraged. So, break out your most ghoulish garb and get ready for a night of thrilling rides, tasty treats, and plenty of boos (and brews)!
Now, before we dive into the wicked details, let me introduce myself—I’m Karen Brem, marketing director for the New Orleans Guest House. Located just around the corner from the famous Louis Armstrong Park and across the street from the French Quarter, we’re your perfect haunt for this spine-chilling event. We’re just a short jaunt away from all the Halloween fun that the city has to offer, so why not make a weekend out of it?
What’s Brewing at Brews and Boos?
Brews and Boos is no ordinary Halloween shindig. Oh no, my dears, this is a New Orleans Halloween event, which means it’s going to be wild, weird, and downright wicked. For a mere $35 in general admission (a steal for all the hauntingly good fun included!), you get unlimited rides in Carousel Gardens Amusement Park. Yes, you heard me—unlimited! Hop on the iconic carousel as many times as your beer-filled belly can handle, scream your way through the roller coaster, or take in a dizzying spin on the Ferris wheel while gazing at the crescent city skyline. Add in a frightful amount of craft beer, and you’ve got yourself a brew-tiful night out!
But for those of you who really want to level up your Halloween experience, consider going VIP for just $60. With a VIP ticket, you get access to a full open bar, comfy seating to rest your spooky bones, and special treats to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours. Talk about hauntingly luxurious!
Get Your Ghoul On
As you’re piecing together your Halloween plans, don’t even think about showing up without a killer costume. This is New Orleans, after all, where costumes are a form of self-expression, art, and—let’s be honest—a competition. So, whether you’re coming as a dashing vampire, a sultry witch, or a zombie with a flair for fashion, let your ghastly imagination run wild. Remember, this is a city where the motto might as well be: “The more outrageous, the better.”
And if you’re still trying to decide what to wear, just think of it this way: If you’re not getting side-eye stares from mere mortals or high-fives from your fellow fiends, you’re not doing it right.
New Orleans: The Ultimate Halloween Destination
Let’s not kid ourselves—there’s no place on earth that celebrates Halloween like New Orleans. We’ve got the perfect spooky backdrop, the history (seriously, our ghosts are so real), and enough voodoo vibes to make even the most skeptical spirit-believer shake in their boots. And with our weather finally cooling down, October is the perfect time to wander our streets, soak in the vibes, and revel in all the Halloween madness.
If Brews and Boos isn’t enough to quench your thirst for Halloween fun, don’t worry. New Orleans has a ton more in store. From haunted ghost tours that get especially eerie in October to street parties that’ll have you dancing until dawn, this city knows how to do Halloween right. And with our New Orleans Guest House just a stone’s throw away from the French Quarter, you’ll be perfectly situated to enjoy every ghastly moment.
Why Not Make a Weekend Out of It?
Since Brews and Boos spans two nights, why not stay for the whole weekend and experience everything New Orleans has to offer? Our city is brimming with mouthwatering cuisine, toe-tapping music, and plenty of bars where you can toast to the spirits of Halloween. Sip on a Sazerac while wandering the eerie streets of the French Quarter, or indulge in some beignets before heading out to your next adventure. And let’s not forget the live music—this is the city that gave birth to jazz, after all!
When you’re ready to call it a night, come back to the New Orleans Guest House where we offer clean, affordable accommodations and a warm, welcoming staff that’s dedicated to making sure your stay is nothing short of spook-tacular.
