HNO: Halloween New Orleans

HNO is one of the most celebrated gay party weekends of the year while also being one of the longest-running. This year marks 40 years! It’s also one of the most respected fundraising events in the country. Halloween New Orleans has played a vital role in the history of Project Lazarus.

Launched in 1983, this weekend of fun was originally started as a dinner party given by a few people to honor their friends and loved ones who had died from AIDS. Halloween New Orleans grew into a private nonprofit organization, with the sole purpose of raising funds to support the mission of Project Lazarus. It has become the single largest cumulative donor to Project Lazarus since the agency’s inception.

The weekend of events include the famous Lazarus Ball, the main costume party on Saturday night, and a Sunday brunch and French Quarter second line parade. Head to the creepy Crescent City for an incredible weekend of love, fun, friends and giving back!
