45 Pics to Celebrate 40 Years of Halloween New Orleans
Images: Lulu Dropo for Out Magazine
This year, Halloween New Orleans celebrated their 40th anniversary year, so you already know they had to go big in the Big Easy!
For the past four decades, HNO has been raising millions of dollars for Project Lazarus, a supportive and transitional living facility for those with HIV/AIDS where they can receive treatment and a new lease on life. And this past Halloweekend, they continued that legacy by throwing one of the country's most anticipated Halloween bashes!
The 40 Years of XLENCE Lazarus Ball at HNO was one of the more formal events of the season, which offered great cocktails, an exciting silent auction, live entertainment, and the announcement of the 2023 Paul S. Plauche Award. Their main event, the costume party, brought back DJ Kitty Glitter before the party closed out at the Woldenberg Riverfront Park with Joey with the Mustache as the DJ.
To celebrate 40 years, check out these 45 photos from the nighttime festivities! And make sure to follow HNO on Instagram for more information and updates!
