Southern Decandence

This Labor Day weekend extravaganza is a cornerstone of queer culture in New Orleans. The multi-day event is often regarded as a combination of New Orleans Pride and Gay Mardi Gras, though with a bawdier, adult-focused twist. Southern Decadence attracts attendees from all over the world and encompasses street parties, concerts, club events, a parade, and much more.

Southern Decadence is primarily held in the French Quarter, however, LGBTQ+ bars, restaurants, and other venues across the city will be participating in Decadence weekend.  
  
There’s no single event that defines Southern Decadence. Local businesses often organize their own events with exclusive deals, and the fun always spills into the streets, ensuring you don’t need a specific destination to fully immerse yourself in the experience.
