What the BOO is the Monster Mash?

🧛‍♂️ New Orleans’ Official After-Party for the Undead, the Unruly & the Unbelievably Fabulous

So you’ve just survived the Krewe of BOO! Parade—you caught a flying plush skull, danced with a stilt-walking werewolf, and now you’re glowing from all the glitter, fog, and haunted brass band beats. You think the night’s over?

Boo, please. The real party is just getting started.

Welcome to the Monster Mash—New Orleans' official Krewe of BOO! after-party, where ghosts don’t rest, ghouls get down, and mortals become monsters on the dance floor.

🕸️ A Little History (Because Even Monsters Have Roots)

The Monster Mash was born from a simple idea: If you’re going to throw the best Halloween parade in America, you’d better throw the best after-party too.

Since its inception, the Mash has become a beloved post-parade ritual—a costumed crescendo that brings together krewe members, parade-goers, visitors, and local creatures of the night for one last BOO-zy blowout.

📍 The Location: The Legendary Generation's Hall

Set in the heart of the Warehouse District, Generations Hall is the ideal haunted haven for this monster bash. With its moody lighting and air of ghostly glamour, this venue feels like Dracula’s jazz club—with better drinks.

Why it’s perfect:

• Historic New Orleans vibes

• Intimate yet high-energy venue

• Big stage, epic sound, and perfect for costume strutting

🎶 The Music: From Funk to Fearlessly Freaky

The Monster Mash isn’t just a dance party—it’s a musical seance. Every year features a killer lineup of live bands and DJs that conjure everything from:

• Funk and soul to get your bones rattling

• Disco and synth to channel your inner 80s vampire

• Brass and bounce (because it’s still New Orleans, y’all)

Past acts have included JT & The Ka-nection Band, Flow Tribe and other local legends who know how to turn the dead into dance machines.

🎭 Must-See Moments (Don’t Ghost Before These)

🧟‍♀️ 1. The Costume Contest From full-on animatronic wings to glow-in-the-dark swamp creatures, the costume competition is fierce, fabulous, and a little unholy. Show up dressed to kill (literally) if you want a shot at the title.

🕯 2. Parade Royalty Appearances Keep an eye out for krewe captains, float riders, and local celebs in full regalia—they usually make a grand entrance and keep the energy rising.

🥂 3. Signature BOO Cocktails Themed drinks with names like “Witch’s Whisper,” “The Fangbanger,” and “Monster Mule” are served all night long. No blood, just booze (we think).

💀 4. The Midnight Moment Whether it’s a surprise performance, a monster conga line, or an impromptu brass band taking over the stage—something magical and insane always happens around midnight.

🎟 Do I Need a Ticket?

YES. This event sells out faster than a vampire in daylight. VIP packages sometimes include drinks, balcony access, or Krewe of BOO! swag—so if you're serious about partying with poltergeists, grab your pass early.

Final Word: Come for the Parade, Stay for the Party

The Monster Mash is where the pageantry of Krewe of BOO! melts into pure, costumed chaos. It's where skeletons twerk, witches waltz, and strangers become besties over blood orange margaritas.

So if you're heading to New Orleans for Halloween weekend, don’t make the rookie mistake of leaving after the last float. The freaks come out at night—and they all end up at the Monster Mash.
