Just Boo It! The 2022 Krewe of Boo Parade

 

Since 2007, the Krewe of Boo has been the official Halloween Parade in New Orleans. The parade will roll at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 22, 2022, with Mardi Gras-style floats constructed by Kern Studios – America’s premier float-building organization – the folks who have been creating Mardi Gras magic since 1947. 

Under the direction of Brian Kern, artists outdo themselves every year with 3-D paper mâché and fiberglass floats and props representing all your favorite ghouls. Halloween-themed throws include candy, plush toys and beads. Get ready to yell, “Throw me something, Monsta!”
