Taking place on the legendary Steamboat Natchez, the Riverboat Tea Dance party was Sunday's main event during Halloween New Orleans' three-day block of festivities from October 18-20. Disc jockey Joey with the Mustache spun some lively tunes as attendees — decked out in their Hallow's eve best, of course — had some fun in the sun and kept the spirit of spooky season alive!

Halloween New Orleans is one of the most popular and anticipated LGBTQ+ party weekends of the year, becoming one of The Big Easy's most respected fundraising event over the course of the past four decades. Throughout this time, it has raised over four million dollars to support Project Lazarus, an organization that provides resources and aid for Louisianans living with HIV.
