Southern Decadence<\/a> is one of the biggest NOLA events of the year, and it will be happening August 29th until September 2nd!\u00a0 Known as “Gay Mardi Gras”, it’s a 5 day celebration that exemplifies the best and most over-the-top of New Orleans.\u00a0 2019’s theme is “fruit salad” and if you’re attending, you’ll want to wear polka dots and pinstripes to fit in.\u00a0 Money raised at the event will be going to support Odyssey House, which provides support to people battling addiction.<\/p>\nGeneral Activities<\/h2>\n
Most bars in the French Quarter will be open or actively participating, so expect plenty of opportunities for dancing and partying.\u00a0 On Saturday evening, attend the Bourbon Street Extravaganza concert, featuring Ultra Nate, Jeanie Tracy, and Beth Sacks, then head to the Bourbon Pub for the after-party with DJ Ivan!<\/p>\n
Sunday is one of the biggest days of Southern Decadence, as it’s the day of the Walking Parade.\u00a0 Starting at the Golden Lantern, the parade makes a (sometimes unplanned) path to the Bourbon Pub.\u00a0 Whether you dress up or dress in costume, make sure you go all out while you strut your stuff.\u00a0 Afterwards, dance until morning in the pub, or in many of the other bars that stay open 24\/7 during Southern Decadence.<\/p>\n
While you’re in New Orleans, consider checking out Southern Decadence – it could be the most fun you’ve ever had!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
