👻🎭 THE COSTUMES. THE MUSIC. THE ABSOLUTE MAYHEM. 🔥

Well, Halloween on Frenchmen Street certainly understood the assignment! 😂

The creativity was OFF THE CHARTS. New Orleans turned out in costumes that were hilarious, spectacular, bizarre and downright brilliant. Y'ALL WERE THE SHOW! First prize when to King Kong, second, to the Queen of Hearts and third, the lady spaceship! 🏆

And what a soundtrack!

🎸 Jamey St. Pierre & THC
🎶 Bon Bon Vivant
🔥 Boot Juice

Every band brought the heat, the dance floor stayed busy, and Café Negril was bursting with happy people having one heck of a night! ❤️

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who came out, dressed up, played music, danced, worked hard and made the night so special! Special gratitude to the photographer, Jennifer Trahant!

Now TAG US IN YOUR HALLOWEEN PICS 📸! We want to relive the madness through your eyes! 😎☕
