New Orleans is known as one of the best locations on the planet to celebrate Halloween. From our many haunted houses to Voodoo Fest and beyond, we do it big.

It wouldn’t be October without @skeletonhousenola 👻 This house at the corner of St. Charles & State has become an Uptown tradition. I love that they add to it every year. #skeletonhousenola
