New Orleans is known for partying all year round. It isn't odd for locals to get together, costume, and treat themselves just because it's Tuesday. With this much love for revelry, it's easy to understand why Halloween is one of the biggest weekends of the year in this city. While it won't be hard to find somewhere to go in costume this weekend, there are a few more unique and exciting New Orleans Halloween events to be aware of before you commit to anything.

As always, there are a few ticketed events that should always be considered. If you feel like you need a night among the undead, the Endless Night Vampire Ball should be a considered. This ball includes beautiful vampire pageantry and costumes. While no blood will be consumed (we hope), you will find yourself surrounded by vampires and fangs from every era. With live performances and music, Endless Night is described on their site as being "akin to a Venetian Masquerade Ball, meeting a Vampire Court, with the elegance of a burlesque cabaret and the energy of a rock concert!"You better have your vampire costumes ready, because you won't be allowed in without one!
