Coming Very Soon!!!

Crazy Spooky Good Times!!!

Ahh, Halloween in New Orleans—there’s truly nothing like it! Forget about pumpkin patches and bobbing for apples. This city brings Halloween to a whole new level, and the festivities? They’re absolutely adult-style (we’re talking some next-level costumes here, folks). And the best part? At the New Orleans Guest House, we’re right around the corner from Louis Armstrong Park and just across the street from the French Quarter, putting you smack dab in the middle of all the haunted, historical, and hilariously entertaining action. Plus, with the streetcar stop just steps from our front door, you’re primed to easily hop around the city to all the spine-tingling fun October brings.

Now, if you think Halloween is just for kids, let me stop you right there. New Orleans celebrates Halloween the entire month of October, and it’s all about costumes, cocktails, and crazy-good times. You’ll see decorations draping balconies in the Quarter, specialty Halloween cocktails haunting menus at every bar, and yes, costumes. Costumes everywhere. Some are funny, some are freaky, and some…well, let’s just say New Orleans knows how to push boundaries in the most fabulous way possible.

Spooky Adventures? Oh, We Have Those in Spades

Now, don’t think you’ll only be wandering the Quarter dressed like a haunted version of yourself (though, if that’s what you want, go for it!). October in New Orleans is jam-packed with a multitude of spooky adventures—ghost tours, haunted houses, and even voodoo experiences. In a city with this much history (and, let’s be real, with this much debauchery), ghost tours take on a life—or maybe afterlife—of their own.

While you can take a French Quarter ghost tour year-round, in October, they’re spookier, more interactive, and let’s be honest—just way more fun. Feel like going old-school creepy? Hop on a horse-drawn carriage ghost tour. Yes, you’ll be clomping through the Quarter under the eerie glow of gas lanterns, all while hearing tales of restless spirits, vampires, and ghosts who (allegedly!) still roam the city. Want to keep it modern? Take a walking ghost tour instead, where you’ll hear legends of murderous nuns (yes, it’s a thing), pirate spirits, and haunted houses that might make your hair stand on end.

And while the haunted French Quarter gets most of the spooky spotlight, let’s not forget the Garden District’s ghostly vibe, where the mansions themselves practically ooze gothic charm. You can find stories of tragedy, curses, and apparitions haunting the grand old homes. It’s a great way to see more of the city while still getting your Halloween fix.

Fall for Halloween, Stay for the City’s Vibe

October might bring cooler temps (let’s all cheer for that one), but while the weather chills, the atmosphere heats up. This is when New Orleans’ true autumn magic hits—perfect for enjoying the city’s art, music, and incredible cuisine. You’ll definitely want to make a weekend of it, and trust me, there’s no better spot to do that than here at the New Orleans Guest House. We’ve got all the charm, affordable rates, and, of course, a staff that will welcome you with open arms.

Frenchmen Street Live Music Pub Crawls? Check. Want to experience Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro or take a late-night stroll through the French Quarter’s bustling bars? Done and done. And don’t even get me started on all the food and drinks specifically designed for the Halloween season. Bars and restaurants get very creative this time of year, from craft cocktails inspired by vampires to dishes made with all sorts of spooky flair.
