Coming This Weekend!!!
It’s that spine-tingling time of year again, y’all, and New Orleans is gearing up to scare your socks off—and maybe your liver, too. The 7th Annual Official Halloween Bar Crawl is haunting the French Quarter this Saturday, October 26, 2024, starting at 4 PM. Now, if you’re new to this (bIt’s that spine-tingling time of year again, y’all, and New Orleans is gearing up to scare your less your heart), let me, Karen Brem, marketing director for the fabulous New Orleans Guest House, break it down for you. This is no ordinary bar crawl. Oh no, this is a booze-soaked, costume-clad, nightmare-walking extravaganza that only the most daring souls will survive. And trust me, you want to survive this one!
The streets of the French Quarter are already steeped in enough paranormal energy to make your hair stand on end (don’t worry, the humidity will fix that real quick), but throw in hundreds of ghoulish, ghostly, and garishly dressed crawlers, and you’ve got yourself a scene straight out of a horror movie—except with way more booze and way better costumes.
If you’re not shaking in your boots yet (preferably some freakishly fabulous boots to match your costume), let me tempt you with some devilishly delicious details: Your ticket includes 2-3 drinks or shots—so, yes, hydration is covered—and you won’t have to deal with those pesky cover charges at any of the participating bars. That’s right, folks, no need to bribe the bouncer with candy. Flash that ticket and march your spooky self on in.
But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just a simple stroll from bar to bar. Oh no, we’ve got a Mid Party and an After Party lined up because the night is young, and so are we (in spirit, anyway). With your ticket, you’ll also be automatically entered into the $1,000 Costume Contest. So, if you’ve been itching to wear that “Sexy Freddy Krueger” outfit or want to one-up your bestie with a killer group costume, this is your chance to strut your spooky stuff and maybe take home a fat stack of cash for it. We love a good payday, don’t we?
And for all you Instagrammers and TikTokers—because let’s be real, if it’s not on social media, did it even happen?—we’ve got professional photographers roaming around to capture every hair-raising moment. So, when your eyes start glowing red after that fifth cocktail, just smile for the camera and say, “Booze!”
But hold up—don’t think we forgot about those early birds! If you’re one of the first 400 to check in, you’re getting a custom stadium cup and keychain lanyard with a built-in bottle opener. Because who has time to fiddle with caps when you’ve got ghost stories to tell and bars to crawl through? Exclusive drink specials, food deals, and that sweet After Party will keep you going long after the clock strikes midnight. Spoiler: You won’t turn into a pumpkin, but you might just turn into a party legend.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Karen, how can I top this off and make it the ultimate spooky weekend?” Oh darling, I’ve got you covered. Why not turn this Halloween haunt into a full-on ghostly getaway?
