Camp HNO Halloween New Orleans 2024 Louisiana

Info

Camp HNO Halloween New Orleans takes place from the 18th to 20th October 2024.

Halloween New Orleans has played a vital role in the history of Project Lazarus. Begun in 1983, Halloween New Orleans was established as a private non-profit organisation, with the sole purpose of raising funds to support the mission of Project Lazarus. The weekend of events includes the famous Lazarus Ball, the main costume party on Saturday night and a Sunday brunch and French Quarter second line parade. This weekend of fun was originally started as a dinner party given by a few people to honour their friends and loved ones who had died from AIDS, and has become the single largest cumulative donor to Project Lazarus since the agency’s inception.

Friday
Lazarus Ball. 7pm-10pm @ Gallier Hall, 545 St Charles Ave. Arrive at Camp HNO and check in for a weekend of enchantment at the Lazarus Ball. Indulge in tempting campfire treats, enjoy bewitching campfire tales, and peruse our silent auction filled with treasures from the haunted woods and beyond. At this gala, black tie is optional, but camp spirit is required.

Saturday
